Re: [Qemu-devel] compiling qemu on ubuntu under parallels

[Tim Leek]

I tried using the gcc-3.3 that comes with Xcode 2.4.  I don't have  
Leopard and so cannot try Xcode 3.0.  It did not work on my intel  
mac.  Also tried downloading gcc-3.3 and recompiling with

configure --enable-languages=c --prefix=blah/blah
make bootstrap

This fails.

My (limited) web searches indicated that Apple no longer supports  
gcc-3.3.  Something to do with ABI.  I didn't delve.  If anyone has  
succeeded in compiling and running qemu on intel mac with either the  
gcc-3.3 that comes with it or with a gcc-3.3 they themselves  
compiled, I'd love to hear about it.
