Debian: Compile QEMU from Source

by on May.24, 2012, under Linux (Ubuntu)

Today I wanted to install a recent version of qemu on one of my machines. I’m using Debian 6 Sqeeze and installed qemu as described in this article.

Prerequisites:

apt-get install pkg-config
apt-get install glib-2.0 --force-yes -y
apt-get install libglib2.0-dev --force-yes -y

The actual installation:

mkdir /opt/qemu/
cd /opt/qemu/
wget http://wiki.qemu.org/download/qemu-1.0.1.tar.gz
tar xzvf qemu-*.tar.gz
cd qemu*
./configure
make
sudo make install

That’s all about it. You can check which qemu version you’re running by executing the terminal command qemu –version

Update: (thanks Aerthel)
Your executables can be found in /usr/local/bin

    Check on /usr/local/bin. Tehre you should find all the qemu’s executables. Just run the one you want from there.
