| | 1 | Notes on building a qemu 2.51 deb package for use in containers. |
| | 2 | |
| | 3 | Mostly followed instructions here: http://www.atrixnet.com/compile-qemu-from-source-and-make-a-debian-package-with-checkinstall. In brief though: |
| | 4 | |
| | 5 | |
| | 6 | * Download qemu source and untar. cd to source dir. |
| | 7 | * mkdir build && cd ./build |
| | 8 | * {{../configure --enable-libssh2 --enable-gnutls --enable-vde --enable-vnc --enable-vnc-png --enable-kvm --target-list=i386-linux-user,i386-softmmu,x86_64-linux-user |
| | 9 | ,x86_64-softmmu}} |
| | 10 | * make -j24 |
| | 11 | * sudo checkinstall -D |
| | 12 | * set version to qemu version |
| | 13 | * set name to "qemu" |
| | 14 | * set requirements to: "libaio1, librbd1, libbluetooth3, libvdeplug2, libxen-4.4, libfdt1, libssh2-1, libvte-2.90-9, libsnappy1, liblzo2-2, libibverbs1, librdmacm1" |
| | 15 | * this will cause dpkg to install these libs so they do not have to be in ./etc/hv:qemu_packages in the containers source code tree. |
| | 16 | * set provides to "qemu" |
| | 17 | |
| | 18 | Once built, there will be a deb file in the current directory. Copy that to ./packages/hv:qemu/ and it will get picked up and 'dpkg -i' installed when containers is bootstrapped on the pnodes. |
