Re: [Qemu-devel] Running the user emulation

[C K Kashyap]

Let me see if I understand this right -

qemu loads the a.out and begins to interpret the x86 instructions in the a.out and when a system call happens, it makes the call the host system .... is that right?

Hi,
I've built qemu on my mac osx using this config -
./configure --prefix=/Users/ckk/local/ --target-list="i386-softmmu x86_64-softmmu" --enable-linux-user

Now, I have a simple a.out built on linux - how can I run it using qemu on my mac box?

Hi Kashyap,

you cannot run it in user mode emulation unless you replace Mac OS by Linux
on your mac box. Linux user emulations requires a Linux host.

If you have a Linux host, you would need --target-list=i386-linux-user.

You can run your a.out if you run system emulation (e.g. i386-softmmu/qemu)
and install Linux there, of course.

Stefan
