== What You Need ==

# A copy of the qemu development source tree ([http://git.kernel.org/?p=virt/qemu/qemu.git;a=summary git] or [http://savannah.nongnu.org/svn/?group=qemu subversion]).
# A copy of the Linux kernel source tree. Note: <code>qemu.git</code> will not build with Linux 2.6.28 or earlier.
# An installed copy of [http://git.jdl.com/gitweb/?p=dtc.git;a=summary libfdt], built for PowerPC.

If you are cross-compiling from a non-PowerPC host, you also need:

# A cross-compiler, such as one built by [http://kegel.com/crosstool crosstool].
# An installed copy of the [http://zlib.net/ zlib] library, built for PowerPC.

=== Where to install the libraries ===

Before building qemu, you install the <code>libfdt</code> and <code>zlib</code> libraries where your toolchain will find them. If you are not cross-compiling, skip this section (because your toolchain will find them in the usual /usr/lib).

You can use <code>cpp -v</code> to find your toolchain's built-in prefix. For example, if your toolchain was created by [http://kegel.com/crosstool crosstool], cpp will say something like this:
<code>
% powerpc-440-linux-gnu-cpp -v
...
#include "..." search starts here:
#include <...> search starts here:
/opt/crosstool/gcc-3.4.5-glibc-2.3.6/powerpc-440-linux-gnu/lib/gcc/powerpc-440-linux-gnu/3.4.5/include
/opt/crosstool/gcc-3.4.5-glibc-2.3.6/powerpc-440-linux-gnu/lib/gcc/powerpc-440-linux-gnu/3.4.5/../../../../powerpc-440-linux-gnu/sys-include
/opt/crosstool/gcc-3.4.5-glibc-2.3.6/powerpc-440-linux-gnu/lib/gcc/powerpc-440-linux-gnu/3.4.5/../../../../powerpc-440-linux-gnu/include
End of search list.
</code>

The prefix here is <code>/opt/crosstool/gcc-3.4.5-glibc-2.3.6/powerpc-440-linux-gnu/powerpc-440-linux-gnu</code>. (Basically pick the last ".../include" path and go up one directory.) Use that prefix to install <code>zlib</code> and <code>libfdt</code>.

== Building Qemu for PowerPC KVM ==

Here is an example for the configure script at the top level of the kvm-userspace repository:

If cross-compiling, run this first:
<code>
cross=powerpc-440-linux-gnu-
</code>

<code>
./configure \
--disable-sdl \
--disable-gfx-check \
--target-list=ppcemb-softmmu \
--cross-prefix="$cross" \
--kerneldir="/home/hollisb/source/kvmppc-dev.hg"
</code>

== Build ==

<code>make</code> will produce <code>qemu/ppcemb-softmmu/qemu-system-ppcemb</code>. You must transfer that executable and <code>qemu/pc-bios/bamboo.dtb</code> to the target.
