[Qemu-devel] How to provide build/CI environment for NetBSD host

[Qemu-devel] How to provide build/CI environment for NetBSD host

[Ryo ONODERA]

Hi,

I saw "Warning of unsupported host systems"
in http://wiki.qemu-project.org/ChangeLog/2.9 wiki page.

I would like to contribute to qemu's NetBSD host support.

I can provide NetBSD/amd64(x86_64) 7-stable build
environment as build/CI machine to the qemu project
if nobody provides it to the project yet.

How to provide build/CI environment to the qemu project?

Thank you.

P.S.
I am not on the qemu-devel@nongnu.org list.
Please add me to CC.

Thanks for the offer. Since then, I've been able to set up
a NetBSD VM, which is probably a reasonable CI environment.

However, the other reason why netbsd isn't in the supported
list is that when I tried compiling it it didn't pass the basic
'make; make check' test. So obviously nobody's been
using or testing it :-(

You could start with looking at the compile failures
and submitting patches.

thanks

Good news for me! Thank you very much!

I use qemu from master branch (with some modification) every weekend.
However I had never run 'make check'.
I will run 'make check'.

O.k.
Thank you.

Hmm. ivshmem_server doesn't link for me, because
it uses shm_open() but doesn't link with -lrt.
So the build fails.

 My 'some modifications' contains fix for your problem.
I will submit it later.

Thank you.
