-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.

+System Requirements:

address@hidden

address@hidden Mac OS 10.5 or higher

address@hidden GCC 4.3 or higher

address@hidden itemize

+

+After downloading the QEMU source code, double-click it to expand it.

+

+Then configure and make QEMU:

address@hidden

+./configure

+make

address@hidden example

+

+If you have a recent version of Mac OS X (OSX 10.7 or better

+with Xcode 4.2 or better) we recommend building QEMU with the

+default compiler provided by Apple, for your version of Mac OS X

+(which will be 'clang'). The configure script will

+automatically pick this.

+

+Note: 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. More information can be found here:

address@hidden://gcc.gnu.org/install/} @*

+

+These are some of the third party binaries of gcc available for download:

address@hidden

address@hidden Homebrew: @uref{http://brew.sh/}

address@hidden @uref{https://www.litebeam.net/gcc/gcc_472.pkg}

address@hidden @uref{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>
