-
-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}.

-@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}.

-
-@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:

-@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>
