@subsection Compilation
First you must decompress the sources:
@example
cd /tmp
tar zxvf qemu-x.y.z.tar.gz
cd qemu-x.y.z
@end example
Then you configure QEMU and build it (usually no options are needed):
@example
./configure
make
@end example
Then type as root user:
@example
make install
@end example
to install QEMU in @file{/usr/local}.
@node Windows
@section Windows
@itemize
@item Install the current versions of MSYS and MinGW from
@url{http://www.mingw.org/}. You can find detailed installation
instructions in the download section and the FAQ.
@item Download
the MinGW development library of SDL 1.2.x
(@file{SDL-devel-1.2.x-@/mingw32.tar.gz}) from
@url{http://www.libsdl.org}. Unpack it in a temporary place and
edit the @file{sdl-config} script so that it gives the
correct SDL directory when invoked.
@item Install the MinGW version of zlib and make sure
@file{zlib.h} and @file{libz.dll.a} are in
MinGW's default header and linker search paths.
@item Extract the current version of QEMU.
@item Start the MSYS shell (file @file{msys.bat}).
@item Change to the QEMU directory. Launch @file{./configure} and
@file{make}. If you have problems using SDL, verify that
@file{sdl-config} can be launched from the MSYS command line.
@item You can install QEMU in @file{Program Files/QEMU} by typing
@file{make install}. Don't forget to copy @file{SDL.dll} in
@file{Program Files/QEMU}.

@itemize
@item
Install the MinGW cross compilation tools available at
@url{http://www.mingw.org/}.
@item Download
the MinGW development library of SDL 1.2.x
(@file{SDL-devel-1.2.x-@/mingw32.tar.gz}) from
@url{http://www.libsdl.org}. Unpack it in a temporary place and
edit the @file{sdl-config} script so that it gives the
correct SDL directory when invoked. Set up the @code{PATH} environment
variable so that @file{sdl-config} can be launched by
the QEMU configuration script.
@item Install the MinGW version of zlib and make sure
@file{zlib.h} and @file{libz.dll.a} are in
MinGW's default header and linker search paths.
@item
Configure QEMU for Windows cross compilation:
@example
PATH=/usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/bin:$PATH ./configure --cross-prefix='i686-pc-mingw32-'
@end example
The example assumes @file{sdl-config} is installed under @file{/usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/bin} and
MinGW cross compilation tools have names like @file{i686-pc-mingw32-gcc} and @file{i686-pc-mingw32-strip}.
We set the @code{PATH} environment variable to ensure the MinGW version of @file{sdl-config} is used and
use --cross-prefix to specify the name of the cross compiler.
You can also use --prefix to set the Win32 install path which defaults to @file{c:/Program Files/QEMU}.
Under Fedora Linux, you can run:
@example
yum -y install mingw32-gcc mingw32-SDL mingw32-zlib
@end example
to get a suitable cross compilation environment.
@item You can install QEMU in the installation directory by typing
@code{make install}. Don't forget to copy @file{SDL.dll} and @file{zlib1.dll} into the
installation directory.
@end itemize
Wine can be used to launch the resulting qemu-system-i386.exe
and all other qemu-system-@var{target}.exe compiled for Win32.

* You may find it easiest to get these from a third-party packager
such as Homebrew, Macports, or Fink.
After downloading the QEMU source code, double-click it to expand it.
Then configure and make QEMU:
@example
./configure
make
@end 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:
@example
ERROR: Your compiler does not support the __thread specifier for
Thread-Local Storage (TLS). Please upgrade to a version that does.
@end 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:
@uref{https://gcc.gnu.org/install/} @*
These are some of the third party binaries of gcc available for download:
@itemize
@item Homebrew: @uref{http://brew.sh/}
@item @uref{https://www.litebeam.net/gcc/gcc_472.pkg}
@item @uref{http://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=name&substr=gcc}
@end itemize
You can have several versions of GCC on your system. To specify a certain version,
use the --cc and --cxx options.
@example
./configure --cxx=<path of your c++ compiler> --cc=<path of your c compiler> <other options>
