Re: [Qemu-ppc] ERROR: glib-2.12 required to compile QEMU

I had to do "yum install glib2-devel" to get past this. Now i am getting.

address@hidden:/volume/dcg-sw/nitins/qemu:103#./configure

ERROR: pixman not present. Your options:
         (1) Preferred: Install the pixman devel package (any recent
             distro should have packages as Xorg needs pixman too).
         (2) Fetch the pixman submodule, using:
             git submodule update --init pixman

Hi Erik,

I downloaded the glib 2.0 source and built it and installed it. Its available 
in /usr/local/lib now.

address@hidden:/usr/local/lib:109#ls | grep glib
glib-2.0
libglib-2.0.la
libglib-2.0.so
libglib-2.0.so.0
libglib-2.0.so.0.0.0
address@hidden:/usr/local/lib:110#

but still qemu configure errors out

address@hidden:/volume/dcg-sw/nitins/qemu:104#./configure

ERROR: glib-2.0 required to compile QEMU

address@hidden:/volume/dcg-sw/nitins/qemu:105#


what am I missing ???

Thanks.
Nitin

It seems that Centos 6.5 (which is the current version) ships a very, very old 
version of that library. For instance, On Debian Testing I have glib version 
2.36!

My only suggestion is to make sure you have done whatever is required to make 
yum update its database of available packages and that you have enabled 
backports if such a thing exists in Centos.

HTH,
Erik
