-The Mac OS X patches are not fully merged in QEMU, so you should look
-at the QEMU mailing list archive to have all the necessary
-information.
+After downloading the QEMU source code, double-click it to expand it.
+
+Then configure QEMU to build the emulator you want using the --target-list option:
address@hidden
+./configure --target-list=ppc-softmmu,i386-softmmu --disable-sdl --disable-gtk
address@hidden example
+
address@hidden
+*Disabling SDL and GTK support is suggested because QEMU runs poorly with them.
address@hidden smalldisplay
+
+Start building QEMU using the make command:
address@hidden
+make
address@hidden example
+
+Note: Apple supplied versions of gcc may not work with QEMU. If after the configure
+step you see a message like this:
address@hidden
+ERROR: Your compiler does not support the __thread specifier for
+       Thread-Local Storage (TLS). Please upgrade to a version that does.
address@hidden example
+You may have to build your own version of gcc from source. Expect that to take
+several hours. GCC 4.3 or above would work. More information can be found here:
+https://gcc.gnu.org/install/ @*
+
+These are some of the third party binaries of gcc available for download:
address@hidden
address@hidden Homebrew http://brew.sh/
address@hidden https://www.litebeam.net/gcc/gcc_472.pkg
address@hidden http://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=name&substr=gcc
address@hidden itemize
+
+You can have several versions of GCC on your system. To specify a certain version,
+use the --cc and --cxx options.
address@hidden
+./configure --cxx=<path of your c++ compiler> --cc=<path of your c compiler> <other options>
