Is there a way to make it work for the default qemu installation? Or maybe it's a mandatory requirement to build qemu from the source?
I use the qemu that comes from Ubuntu apt. I have "qemu-system-x86_64", but no "qemu-x86_64". So, something like this...
$ which qemu-x86_64 $ echo $? 1
$ which qemu-system-x86_64 /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64
Ah now I think I understand Paul's question. I didn't know that the userland version was not always provided. I've always had both side by side.
It would be great if we can avoid building qemu from the source. But if not, let's go with that.
As Paul indicated, it's really trouble-free and I think I've only done that since the very first day I started to use QEMU, reason why I probably never noticed that not everything was packaged.
Then at least to respond to Paul, it could make sense to add a note that on some distros the userland version might not always be provided and might require a pretty simple rebuild of QEMU.
Thanks! Willy
