Dear Peter,

thank you for this information.
But I am not using homebrew on my MACs - so how can I get this?
Best regards

I noticed on the page https://wiki.qemu.org/Hosts/Mac you deleted the

download section. I actually needed qemu-system-i386 today.

Yes; the download links were to random mediafire download URLs

(ie not trustable, not something we would want to imply to users

that they should be downloading and running) and were also for

ancient versions of QEMU (so not being updated or maintained).

What

would it take to have an office download for QEMU binaries for Mac OS X?

The project doesn't provide binary downloads; this would be

a lot of effort for minimal gain. For users who don't want to

do a full-compile-from-source we recommend using homebrew

(https://www.qemu.org/download/#macos), which is the equivalent

for OSX of "get binary packages from your distro" for Linux.
