[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1567254] [NEW] qemu-2.5.1 will not run with gtk3/vte

[John Frankish]

Public bug reported:

Using qemu-2.5.1 and compiling without gtk3 and vte-2.90.

This works:

CC="gcc -mtune=generic -Os -pipe" CXX="g++ -mtune=generic -Os -pipe
-fno-exceptions -fno-rtti" ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
--localstatedir=/var --libexecdir=/usr/local/lib/qemu --interp-
prefix=/usr/local/share/qemu --audio-drv-list="oss alsa sdl" --target-
list="i386-softmmu i386-linux-user x86_64-softmmu x86_64-linux-user"
--smbd=/usr/local/sbin/smbd --disable-curses

find . -name config-host.mak -type f -exec sed -i 's/-O2//g' {} \;

make
sudo make install

If I then add gtk3 and vte-2.90 development files and compile again,
this fails with or without --disable-docs:

 sudo make install
...
make -C po install
make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/src/qemu-2.5.1/po'
  GEN   tr.mo
/bin/sh: msgfmt: not found
Makefile:13: recipe for target 'tr.mo' failed
make[1]: *** [tr.mo] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/qemu-2.5.1/po'
Makefile:443: recipe for target 'install' failed
make: *** [install] Error 2

If I then add gettext and re-compile, "qemu-system-x86_64 -blah-blah"
opens a window, displays the bios message and stops.

* configure script should check for gettext
* if "--disable-docs" is passed, "make install" should not try to install docs
* qemu should work when compiled with gtk3 and vte
* why does qemu insist on vte-2.90, when vte-2.91 has been out +/- 2 years?
