Hi,
I was looking at fixing a FreeBSD compile failure yesterday and I spent
a lot of time trying to figure out building on a system that I'm not
very familiar with. Today I'm having a quick look at extending the
Travis build to MacOSX.
In both cases I'm not getting very far and I notice we only really have
decent build instructions on the wiki for Linux and Win32:
http://wiki.qemu.org/Hosts/Linux
http://wiki.qemu.org/Hosts/W32
Could I implore the greater community to think about putting up some
simple instructions for people that are not familiar with these systems.
It will help *you* in the long run ;-)
FWIW on FreeBSD I ended up:
* running make on the /usr/ports qemu to bring in dependencies
* ./configure --disable-nettle (the script seems to miss this)
* use gmake
I'm not sure if this is the right way but I did manage to reproduce the
failure that had been reported.
On MacOSX I could really do with knowing:
* What Xcode/compiler should work
* How are dependencies installed? (brew?)
* Any special configure options needed?
Thanks in advance,
