Hi,

You can download a version from here:
http://vpsland.superglobalmegacorp.com/ ... -x86_64.7z

Please read the info on that web page carefully. It might seem you found a dead link, but actually it is not ;-)

Best,

-M mac99 option works correctly on qemu commit b981289c493c7ddabc1cdf7de99daa24642c7739
However, a later commit broke that again (NO symbol appears)
Also, if you try to install 10.4 on a g3beige machine with a G4 processor, the installer will just hang on a spinning beachball. With a G3 processor, the installer would just say it can't be installed on this machine.

I think he means that earlier on in this thread, someone posted a compiled binary, but the link is now broken. Nobody's compiled a new self-contained binary and made it available.

Sorry for my English. In this branch were links to the emulator are compiled which were members of the forum. I want to download and run the finished build, as I am not able to compile.

Try this:
https://github.com/psema4/pine/wiki/Ins ... MU-on-OS-X

But you would of course want to substitute 1.6 for 1.1 (grab the other version from the repository) and powerpc for arm.

Homebrew is definitely the way to go, considering the dependencies. Also, the Homebrew version is currently at 2.2, which should work even better for PPC OS X (I believe it fixes the color inversion issue).

Here's the change list so that you can pick the version you want:
https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/co ... la/qemu.rb

Oh yes, and for the prebuilt binaries: http://vpsland.superglobalmegacorp.com/ ... 20X%20x86/. The page will require some English comprehension for details on how to get to the actual compiled binary.

It'll let you *compile* it.

But you're better off using the 2.2.0 build available here:
http://vpsland.superglobalmegacorp.com/ ... atforms.7z

--and yes, this is already compiled. Read the connection instructions when your link fails to download the file.

Neozeed from these forums does a good job of keeping a compiled binary of the latest version of qemu available. You can follow his blog here:

Re: PowerPC OSX on Qemu 1.6.0 for OSX

Hello,

I am trying to compile QEMU on Snow Leopard and I've been getting this error:

Code: Select all

ERROR: Your compiler does not support the __thread specifier for
       Thread-Local Storage (TLS). Please upgrade to a version that does.
I believe the warning is a bit inconsistent, I am using GCC 4.8 from Homebrew.

This is my environment at the moment:
  • XCode 3.2.1 and XCode 4.2 (hacky, but both work)
  • Homebrew
  • GCC 4.8 (Homebrew's, not Apple's llvm. It was compiled with Apple's XCode 3.2.1 GCC)
  • GCC 4.8 is aliased on my '.profile' as 'gcc'. Maybe there could be a side-effect? (eg if I use 'which gcc' I get Apple's)
  • automake, autoconf, pkg-config, glib and pixman were installed via Homebrew as instructed elsewhere.
Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Code: Select all

Okay, I got something!

I had to force GCC 4.8 like this:

Code: Select all

./configure --cc=gcc-4.8
Then I get an error about pixman. The solution is to force-create symlinks for it:

Code: Select all

brew link pixman --force
Now I'm with an error "Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64".

I will continue my tests and post here when I get something.
