From Symbian Developer Community

These instructions are intended to follow on from How to build the Syborg/QEMU baseport for Symbian^2.0.0 on Ubuntu Linux, but they will work "standalone". They have been verified on Ubuntu 9.04.

Contents 1 Install basic build tools 2 Install Mercurial 3 Get the QEMU sources from Mercurial 4 Install dependencies. 5 Setup environment for QEMU build 6 Build QEMU

Install basic build tools

If you have not already done it...

$ sudo apt-get install build-essential

Install Mercurial

If you have not already done it...

$ sudo apt-get install mercurial

On Ubuntu 9.04 or later you may also like to install the Mercurial TortoiseHG gui and nautilus integration:

 
$ sudo apt-get install mercurial-common
$ sudo apt-get install mercurial-tortoisehg
$ sudo apt-get install nautilus-mercurial-tortoisehg
 

Get the QEMU sources from Mercurial

If you have already built the syborg baseport as per How to build the Syborg/QEMU baseport for Symbian^2.0.0 on Ubuntu Linux, then:

$ cd ~/syborg/sf

Otherwise create a directory in which to do the build. I assume ~/syborg:

 
$ mkdir ~/syborg
$ mkdir ~/syborg/sf
 

Then:

 
$ mkdir ~/syborg/sf/adaptation
$ cd ~/syborg/sf/adaptation
$ hg clone https://developer.symbian.org/oss/FCL/sf/adaptation/qemu
 

Install dependencies.

Install libexpat:

$ sudo apt-get install libexpat1

Install zlib:

$ sudo apt-get install zlib1g

Install libpng:

$ sudo apt-get install libpng12-0

Install libsdl and its development files:

 
$ sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2debian
$ sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev
 

Install Python development files:

$ sudo apt-get install python-dev

Setup environment for QEMU build

 
$ export BLDROOT=~/syborg/
$ export PYTHONPATH=$BLDROOT/sf/adaptation/QEMU/symbian-qemu-0.9.1-12/qemu-symbian-svp/plugins
 

Build QEMU

$ cd $BLDROOT/sf/adaptation/QEMU/symbian-qemu-0.9.1-12/qemu-symbian-svp

Ensure the configure script is executable.

$ chmod +x configure

Configure, make , install. The --prefix will install beneath the build root.

 
$ ./configure --target-list=arm-softmmu --prefix=$BLDROOT/sf/adaptation/QEMU/symbian-qemu-0.9.1-12
$ make
$ make install
 

All being well, you will find the QEMU executable, qemu-system-arm, in ~/syborg/sf/adaptation/QEMU/symbian-qemu-0.9.1-12/bin
