Arch Linux User Repository

Note: I won't use the ultimate splitting for Qemu (introduced by Qemu 7.0) until I get some help to migrate to the splitted PKGBUILD.

Note 2 : qemu-git packages are conflicting with qemu-desktop meta package. This package will need a lot of work and time to be corrected. Sorry.

And add spice too ? Here is a modified PKGBUILD. Feel free to use it ;) # Maintainer: Devin Cofer <ranguvar{AT]archlinux[DOT}us> # Contributor: Tobias Powalowski <tpowa@archlinux.org> pkgname=qemu-git pkgver=20110213 pkgrel=1 pkgdesc="Processor emulator and virtual machine with with expansive multi-arch support and fast operation (with an accelerator), dev tree version." arch=('i686' 'x86_64') license=('GPL2' 'LGPL2') url="http://wiki.qemu.org/Index.html" makedepends=('git' 'texi2html' 'perl') depends=('gnutls>=2.4.1' 'bluez' 'vde2' 'util-linux-ng' 'curl' 'libsasl' 'sdl' 'alsa-lib' 'esound' 'spice') conflicts=('qemu' 'kvm') provides=('qemu') source=('65-kvm.rules' 'qemu.install') sha256sums=('c16a8dc7855880b2651f1a3ff488ecc54d4ac1036c71fffd5007021d8d18a7c5' '910e845f3da5c4ea38b3f548dab8c0cfbcdd62822cd38afa2175ba23ac2c31f2') install='qemu.install' _gitroot="http://www.qemu.com/qemu.git" _gitname=qemu build() { msg "Performing source checkout..." if [ -d "$_gitname" ]; then cd "$_gitname" git pull origin cd .. else git clone "$_gitroot" fi msg "Source checkout finished." rm -rf "$_gitname-build" git clone "$_gitname" "$_gitname-build" cd "$_gitname-build" sed -i -e 's/lib64/lib/g' x86_64.ld ./configure --prefix=/usr --audio-drv-list=alsa,oss,sdl,esd \ --audio-card-list=ac97,sb16,es1370,adlib --enable-docs \ --extra-cflags=-D__EXPORTED__HEADERS__ \ --enable-spice make } package() { cd "$srcdir"/$_gitname-build make DESTDIR="$pkgdir" install install -Dm644 "$srcdir/65-kvm.rules" \ "$pkgdir/lib/udev/rules.d/65-kvm.rules" }

For Spice, you have to modify spice pkgbuild line in makedepends, changing cegui by cegui-0.6 And after I think you can build it flawlessly.

==> GIT checkout done or server timeout ==> Starting make... ERROR ERROR: User requested feature spice ERROR: configure was not able to find it ERROR Breche ab ... ==> ERROR: Makepkg was unable to build kvm-git. SPICE is missing. but building spice from aur failed as well

kvm 20110203-2 : enabled again spice. Qemu-kvm version is now 0.14.50 [fred@fredo-arch ~]$ qemu-kvm --version QEMU emulator version 0.14.50 (qemu-kvm-devel), Copyright (c) 2003-2008 Fabrice Bellard

I have to disable spice support - for now - because it won't build with it enabled.

Can you please switch to http://www.qemu.com/qemu.git instead of savannah repo which hasn't been updated for a long time?

Since 30 december 2010, kvm is enabled by default.

I had a similar problem, so I removed that line for now.
