Hello

I’m trying to compile Qemu from sources and as such face the well known errors of requiring Glib-2.4 and gthread-2.0

ERROR: glib-2.40 gthread-2.0 is required to compile QEMU

I’m on Linux Mint and I’ve installed libglib-2.0 from the repo

This is the important one & looks fine.

Please paste the 'config.log' file after a failed configure, it often
has more debug info.

Also, what env/args (if any) are you passing to configure

Here is the content of config.log: https://pastebin.com/6zrSXWAG

I am configuring it for 'arm-softmmu'  as can be seen from the above paste

Keen to know,

Looks like it is failing on

  $ pkg-config  --atleast-version=2.40 gthread-2.0

returning non-zero exit status.


This suggests the file:

  /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/gthread-2.0.pc

is missing on your install.

Or do you have some PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR env variable set that
is mistakenly pointing to a different directory.

Daniel

That file IS present and its contents are:

includedir=${prefix}/include

Let me know what is falling short here

This is failing for me today after I cleaned up my build directory and
re-configured everything from scratch. Something is wrong in the
configure scripts?
