This is excessively vague. Quoting error messages is usually a better idea than handwaving about crashes. There's an Android bug where (at least for some gcc versions) the __builtin___clear_cache() function doesn't work. You might like to try the test in this Android bug report: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1803 to see if it still affects your compiler. (It's possible it's one of those bugs that was valid 3 years ago and has since been fixed but nobody closed the bug report.) > I am obviously doing something wrong.. > > Is there anybody who can help - tell me how - point me in the right > direction - to compiling a stable version of qemu-system-arm for Android ? The other thing to note is that QEMU 1.0 was noted in the release notes as not working on ARM hosts. Some but not all of this has been fixed since then. Bottom line: you can probably get this going if you're prepared to investigate and fix some issues. If you're hoping that somebody will have a simple recipe you can follow, I suspect you're out of luck :-( -- PMM
