How to compile qemu (for i386 only) on linux

Question

I downloaded the tar.gz from qemu.org. Now how can I compile the source code only for i386 architecture?

I mean, my qemu need not be able to emulate a Power PC, Motorola 68000 or others.

I tried the steps

./configure
make
make install

But there was a failure

No rule to build target 'all'  

Apart from this, the above steps compile the qemu for all architectures too.

Hope to get some help.

Answer 1

On Linux Machine Download Qemu Source Code and extract in directory then cd to DIR and do following:

./configure --disable-kvm [--prefix=PFX] [--target-list="i386-softmmu x86_64-softmmu"]
make
make install

Answer 2

first tar it (extract it) then go to the directory on shell then type this commands

./configure --target-list=i386-softmmu

when build successful

press make and enter when this done then write

sudo make install

that's it

Answer 3

For general linux,

• #tar xvzf qemu-1.4.0.tar.bz2
• #cd qemu-1.4.0
• #./configure --target-list=i386-softmmu
• #make
• #make install

For puppy linux wary 530,

• #tar xvzf qemu-1.4.0.tar.bz2
• #cd qemu-1.4.0
• #./configure --target-list=i386-softmmu
• #make
• #new2dir make install
• #cd ..
• #dir2pet qemu-1.4.0-i486

Answer 4

./configure  --target-list=x86_64-linux-user --disable-smartcard-nss

This command work for me, while building Qemu 1.6 on centOS
