Installation¶

The most preferable OS for QEMU4V installation is Linux.
To compile the QEMU4V the following Linux packages should be installed first: bison, flex, g++, libglib2.0-dev, libjpeg62-dev, libpixman-1-dev, pkg-config, python, zlib1g-dev (package names are taken from Ubuntu repo and may be different in your distro).
To compile QEMU4V with the help of gradlew script the openjdk-8-jdk package should be installed too.

There are two ways to install QEMU4V: from source tarball or from Git repository.

Install from source archive¶

1. Get source tarball from here.
2. Unpack the archive to the directory you want.
3. Enter the directory and do the following commands:
   

   $ ./configure --target-list=aarch64-softmmu,riscv64-softmmu,mips-softmmu,mips64-softmmu,ppc-softmmu,ppc64-softmmu,i386-softmmu --disable-capstone
   $ make
   $ sudo make install
   

   
   or
   

   $ ./gradlew assemble
   $ sudo make install
   

Install from Git repository¶

1. Clone the project Git repository with the following command:
   

   $ git clone https://forge.ispras.ru/git/qemu4v.git
   

2. The command above creates 'qemu4v' directory. Enter the 'qemu4v' directory and switch to the branch that contains all the project enhancements:
   

   $ cd qemuv4
   $ git checkout -b qemu4v.master origin/qemu4v.master
   $ git submodule init
   $ git submodule update --remote
   

3. Do the following commands:
   

   $ ./configure --target-list=aarch64-softmmu,riscv64-softmmu,mips-softmmu,mips64-softmmu,ppc-softmmu,ppc64-softmmu,i386-softmmu --disable-capstone
   $ make
   $ sudo make install
   

   
   or
