[Qemu-discuss] Install multiple forks of QEMU

[Stephen Bates]

Hi

Apologies in advance if this information is already available but a search
of the WWW and the qemu mailing archives did not yield anything:

I am working on a few different topics (RISC-V, NVMe, PMEM) and need to
have multiple forks of QEMU on my system at the same time. Is there a way
of installing qemu in different locations and have them play nicely
together? The ./configure does not mention an install location directive,
nor does the Makefile.

Ideally I would like to install the upstream version of qemu at the
default location and install the forks in /opt/qemu/<fork name>. Another
option I can see is to use docker containers for each one but I would like
to avoid that if possible.

If I work out how to do this and if the documentation in this area *is*
lacking I'll be happy to submit a patch to update the documents.

Thanks!
