Well it does compile somewhat easily, but after some disk access, it just deadlocks. It didn’t matter if it was writeback, writethrough, or none, it just deadlocks.

Deadlocked Qemu 1.5.0 on OS X

Such a shame.  But I thought I’d at least keep the world up to date.

And something like this….

libiconv-1.14.tar.gz
pkg-config-0.18.1
gettext-0.18.1.1
glib-2.30.2
glib-2.33.2
libffi-3.0.4
libiconv-1.14

I know it is mostly meaningless but Qemu 1.2.0/1.2.2 build & work fine for me.

So this is good news, as always you can check out the change log, or download the source and compile yourself…

Using my quick instructions on building on OS X, I got 1.2 to compile which is nice, and run DOOM..

As you can see from this output it isn’t relying on the TCG backend

So far it looks good on OS X, so here is my i386 binary!  Although I’ve only tested it with MS-DOS 4.01 & Doom 1.1

Doom 1.1 on OS X 10.8.1 via Qemu 1.2.0

Qemu 1.2.0 & all its win32 glory

And after much delay, here is my Win32 binary for the i386 system emulation.  And just like the OS X version, I’ve only tested it with Doom.  I’ve included my usual control-alt-delete shortcut & the ability to quick reset.

So after the whole mountain lion thing I got the latest Xcode..

And it ‘compiles’ a Qemu but it just hangs… LLVM really broke Qemu … So in the interim if you want Qemu on OS X keep a copy of Snow Leopard handy!

Of course I tried using Snow Leopards gcc on Mountain Lion, but it won’t compile any of the Cocoa stuff.

Go figure.
