[Qemu-devel] QEMU-kvm 1.0 build and python

[Udayan Bapat]

Hi all,

I am trying to cross compile qemu-kvm for a custom platform and the
environment does not contain python. Due to this, the configure is
breaking. I found that there are a few .pl scripts that get fired
during configure. Are they essential for core functionality? If not,
is there any way to build it without python related functionality?

Thanks
Udayan

You said Python at first but then you mentioned .pl, which is Perl.

Which script(s) exactly?

Also, do you have a cross-compiler that runs on a supported platform,
like x86_64 Linux?  Then you can build your QEMU in an environment that
offers these tools.
