I recently posted this in the qemu users forum online, but I doubt
it's going to get answered there...
I recently bought an iMac G5 (1.8 GHz, 1 gig of RAM), and ran the qemu
release for OS X (0.6.0 I believe). When I tried to install Windows 98
SE, the installer always died right at the beginning, and when I tried
to install SUSE Linux, it was just pretty slow. So I'm wondering if
there's any options I could use to compile qemu for use with OS X on a
G5 (i.e. specific ways to optimize it for use with a G5 and/or OS X).
Or will qemu not run at all in OS X without being specifically
modified to do so? (Keep in mind I know nothing about this type of
coding, so I wouldn't be able to tweak the code myself).
Thanks,
Fred Hope
I did some tests on my G4 and compiling with the added option
"-mcpu=7400" (for my TiBook) yields a 8% speed increase. You do not
need any other modification, just grab the latest CVS. I have no
problem with the installation of W98 either with my compiled version or
the 0.6.0 package.
I'll be interested in your results. I don't know if anybody else on the
list has tested qemu on a G5, and I am planning to buy one in not too
long a time.
Lga.
