The QEMU x86 emulator
---------------------
INSTALLATION
------------
Type
./configure
make
to build qemu, qemu-CPU and libqemu.a (CPU is the name of the various
supported target CPUs).
Type
make install
to install QEMU in /usr/local
Tested tool versions
--------------------
In order to compile QEMU succesfully, it is very important that you
have the right tools. The most important one is gcc. I cannot guaranty
that QEMU works if you do not use a tested gcc version. Look at
'configure' and 'Makefile' if you want to make a different gcc
version work.

[1] On Alpha, QEMU needs the gcc 'visibility' attribute only available
for gcc version >= 3.3.
[2] Linux >= 2.4.20 is necessary for precise exception support
(untested).
[3] 2.4.9-ac10-rmk2-np1-cerf2
[4] gcc 2.95.x generates invalid code when using too many register
variables. You must use gcc 3.x on PowerPC.
