If you're just doing local testing (where running QEMU from the command line is sufficient) you can also just build the various configs in different build directories[*] and run them directly from the build directory without installing them at all. [*] that is, mkdir -p build/foo && cd build/foo && ../../configure [options] will configure for an out-of-tree build, which you then build with 'make -C build/foo'. This is usually a better idea than running configure and building directly in the root of the QEMU source tree anyway, but it's particularly handy if you're building more than one configuration. thanks -- PMM
