+Big Rules for compling QEMU on Solaris
+--------------------------------------
+1) must use gcc-3.x, not gcc-4.x or Sun Studio
+2) must use gmake (or make aliased to gmake) as 
+   normal make in /usr/ccs/bin fails
+3) install program is ginstall (blastwave, sunfreeware, 
+   or self compiled) or use /usr/ucb/install by overriding 
+   install with --install=/usr/ucb/install at configure time
+4) Need /usr/perl5/bin and /usr/sfw/bin in PATH for building documentation.
+5) Open Sound System audio is preferred over Sun Audio.
+6) Should read http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/qemu/host
+
+
+Compiler Status for Building QEMU on Solaris
+--------------------------------------------
+
+For Solaris 8/9 Sparc and X86, use blastwave gcc 3.4.x
+
+For Solaris 10 Sparc and X86, use /usr/sfw/bin/gcc
+  except for compiling 32-bit on an x86-64 host
+
+For Solaris Express/SXCE/SXDE/11, use /usr/sfw/bin/gcc
+
+ ** Don't bother to use SunFreeware's gcc.  It doesn't work. **
+
+Read http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/qemu/host/gcc-failures
+for more information.

+QEMU Status for Solaris
+-----------------------
+
+Solaris Express (aka SXCE and SXDE, and Solaris 11)
+---------------------------------------------------
+
+32-bit sparc and i386
+64-bit x86-64
+32-bit i386 compiled on x86-64 host
+kqemu for 32-bit i386 and 64-bit x86-64
+
+libSDL is part of Solaris Express as of build 62, so
+this includes both 32-bit and 64-bit libraries. Prior
+to build 62, you'll need libSDL from blastwave or
+compile it yourself.
+
+see http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/qemu/host/Dependencies
+for hints on compiling libSDL.
+
+gcc-3.4.x from /usr/sfw/bin is the preferred compiler, 
+but for 32-bit, gcc-3.4.x will work from blastwave.
+
+By default, x86-64 systems compile 64-bit, i386 and sparc 
+systems compile 32-bit. (64-bit sparc has not been tested
+yet due to lack of hardware)
+
+An option available to configure on 64-bit x86-64 host 
+is --force-32bit, which compiles QEMU in a 32-bit environment.
+
+Solaris 10
+----------
+
+32-bit sparc and i386
+64-bit x86-64
+32-bit i386 compiled on x86-64 host (*)
+kqemu for 32-bit i386 and 64-bit x86-64
+
+libSDL from blastwave is 32-bit only, so if you need a 64-bit
+version of libSDL, you'll need to compile it yourself.
+
+see http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/qemu/host/Dependencies
+for hints on compiling libSDL.
+
+gcc-3.4.3 from /usr/sfw/bin is preferred compiler, but for 32-bit, 
+gcc-3.4.x will work from blastwave.
+
+By default, x86-64 systems compile 64-bit, i386 and sparc 
+systems compile 32-bit. (64-bit sparc has not been tested
+and is unlikely to work, due to the lack of 64-bit libraries
+for X and libSDL)
+
+An option available to configure on 64-bit x86-64 host 
+is --force-32bit, which compiles QEMU in a 32-bit environment.
+
+* some versions of gcc-3.4.3 in /usr/sfw/bin fail when
+  compiling 32-bit QEMU on an x86-64 host. See the
+  gcc-failures page listed above.
+
+Solaris 9
+---------
+
+32-bit sparc and i386
+kqemu for 32-bit i386 only
+
+libSDL from blastwave is 32-bit only, or you can compille it
+yourself.  Hints for compiling libSDL on Solaris found at:
+
+http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/qemu/host/Dependencies
+
+gcc-3.4.x from blastwave is the preferred compiler
+
+i386 requires libsunmath (from the SunStudio compilers,
+which are now freely available). Solaris 9 sparc has
+native 64-bit math which does not require libsunmath.
+see http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/features/techtips/ss11_commands.html

+
+Solaris 8
+---------
+
+32-bit sparc and i386
+kqemu for 32-bit i386 only (experimental)
+
+libSDL from blastwave is 32-bit only, or you can compille it
+yourself.  Hints for compiling libSDL on Solaris found at:
+
+http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/qemu/host/Dependencies
+
+gcc-3.4.x from blastwave is the preferred compiler
+
+i386 requires libsunmath (from the SunStudio compilers,
+which are now freely available). Solaris 8 sparc has
+native 64-bit math which does not require libsunmath.
+see http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/features/techtips/ss11_commands.html
+for help on Studio 11 and a download link
+
+kqemu should work, but without a working Solaris 8/x86
+box, I haven't been able to confirm.  If you're really
+set on running qemu on Solaris 8/x86 with kqemu, just
+modify configure to enable it.
