process to build qemu?

[jtongen]

It appears that proxmox is applying some custom patches to the qemu source. The ones I've located are in pve-qemu/debian/patches/pve.

Is there a process for me to apply those to the qemu source and then build the qemu binaries?

It also appears proxmox may be adding libs to the qemu build process. If that's right do those exist somewhere or would I also need to build those? I have a couple custom qemu source files I need included in my qemu build, and trying to figure out how to accomplish this within proxmox.

Also, once I get qemu built do you expect everything to start working, or would there be additional customization necessary?

hi,

you need to get the upstream source from https://git.qemu.org/git/qemu.git

clone it in the pve-qemu repository and then you should be able to build it

OK, I did that and apt installed 2 items, looks like I'm close but hit the following error:

ERROR: unknown option --with-confsuffix=/kvm
Try '/home/simulation/jtongen/pve-qemu/pve-qemu-kvm-5.1.0/configure --help' for more information
make[1]: *** [debian/rules:38: config.status] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/simulation/jtongen/pve-qemu/pve-qemu-kvm-5.1.0'
dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules build subprocess returned exit status 2
make: *** [Makefile:33: pve-qemu-kvm_5.1.0-3_amd64.deb] Error 2

Do you know how to resolve this?

Did you ever solve this?

can you outline the process to build QEMU on proxmox?

recursively clone https://git.proxmox.com/?p=pve-qemu.git;a=summary (might take a bit ), install the build-dependencies (e.g., as root, apt build-dep .), run make deb
