Description Johannes Kuhlmann 2004-05-01 17:19:37 UTC

When I emerge the newest version of qemu, which is 0.5.4, the executable called 'qemu' is not created. This is the actual program which simulates a whole machine. The other executables that only run another program are created. I also downloaded the qemu sources from its website and compiled it on my own, without portage, and 'qemu' was created.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. type: ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge qemu
2. type: qemu

Actual Results:  
qemu is not found.

Expected Results:  
qemu should be found and start emulating a machine.

Doesn't work for me either!

What do you mean by "Please check the updates about qemu and its targets." ?

Take a look at this forum post: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?p=1205108#1205108
I haven't tried it yet, but looks promising.

qemu now builds different executable depending on the chosen targets, keep in mind that the qemu-fast on i386 MAY not link properly.
