hi guys i always compiled qemu sucessful but when i tried to compile it on slackware latest , i couldn't find libsdl so i download it an install it, but libsdl had problem in shared lib. libasound as i remember so when i compiled qemu i disabled sound so it works and compiles but when i tried to execute it , it gives me : couldn't find DNS error, also i tried it as slackware tgz package it gave the same error.

i read it somewhere in the QEMU README, that if compilations complains about -lasound you should recompile libsdl, and you could get the rest of the sdl modules, like SDL_sound, and SDL_mixer, smpeg, just download and compile all of those with ./configure --prefix=/usr it is usefull to "telinit 1" run ldconfig then telinit 3 or 4 then recompile QEMU

about the DNS error, i don't really know as i hardly know much about networks, but is your machined using loopback network interface ? if not then try loopback, at least it works here fine running slackware 10 upped to current got Slack? get counted

ya i know , i solved the 1st problem by compiling both alsa-lib and libsdl , but the DNS isn't a problem i qemu coz when i tried hostname -d i gives the same error , so i think its a network configuration error thnx

Even if u need portability, u have to use assembly ;-)

Take a look at Compilation from the sources

I think It doesn't require many dependancies, just make sure you have libSDL-dev installed

Networking can be a bit fiddly

BTW, I proposed reading the README which gives the related information though
