Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 844503
qemu package doesn't build kvm on ppc64
Last modified: 2013-01-09 07:05:54 EST
Depends on bug #844502 In order to enjoy KVM on ppc(64), we would like Fedora to build a KVM enabled qemu for it (at least ppc64, ppc32 is not required). The current Fedora qemu spec file builds a bunch of qemu system emulators without kvm (missing ppc/ppc64 but that's the subject of bug #844502) and when the target arch is x86(_64), also builds a kvm-enabled qemu-kvm. The obvious approach would be to duplicate those stanza to also build one when the target is ppc64. I did some local hacking on the spec file and essentially ended up duplicating the x86_64 rules for ppc64 (so I could use slightly different configure options). I'll update this bug with our configure options etc... asap
So internally we hacked our SPEC file to do: ./configure --target-list=ppc64-softmmu \ --prefix=%{_prefix} \ --sysconfdir=%{_sysconfdir} \ --audio-drv-list=pa,sdl,alsa,oss \ --disable-strip \ --extra-ldflags="$extraldflags -pie -Wl,-z,relro -Wl,-z,now" \ --extra-cflags="%{optflags} -fPIE -DPIE" \ --enable-mixemu \ %if %{without rbd} --disable-rbd \ %endif %if %{without fdt} --disable-fdt \ %endif --enable-trace-backend=dtrace \ --disable-werror \ --enable-kvm Some things like the audio-drv list are just copied from x86_64, and it requires libfdt so we might want to avoid the "without fdt" bit in practice (or just not build the whole thing)
Should be fixed by qemu-1.2-0.2.20120806git3e430569.fc18
