And now, of course, i have to compile this new version of qemu on my #Slackware server somehow.

Because reasons.

Probably more likely to compile qemu 7.2.11 which came out at the same time than 9.0.0.

I mean, the server is on 7.2.9 so 7.2.11 makes a lot more sense! 🤓

Oh, what the heck, let's just try to compile both versions of qemu on #Slackware 15 and see what happens!

Surprisingly... #qemu 9.0.0 seems to compile just fine on #Slackware 15! Yay! 🤓

This being said, I am only on:

[2407/9553] Compiling C object libqemu-aarch64_be-linux-user.fa.p/linux-user_uname.c.o

So there is still plenty of time to mess things up. Let's see how it goes, and if the end result is usable.

Still compiling, but still going strong, no error messages, so I am not complaining.

And I am pleased to report that #qemu 9.0.0 compiles straight on #slackware 15 with almost no fiddling at all!

Took a while on my little server, but:

$ qemu-system-x86_64 --version

QEMU emulator version 9.0.0

$ ls /usr/local/bin/qemu-sys* | wc -l

Ooooh yeah! 🤓

@ParadeGrotesque 🔥 likely. lol

@jloc0

Qemu 7.2.11 should be fine, since I am already running version 7.2.9.

The real test will be qemu 9.0.0.

@ParadeGrotesque I update my #slackbuilds for 9.0.0 but here I used only x86_64 :) but I plan to use more and more for my #openzfs tests.

@r1w1s1

I compile mine with everything, from arm to x86_64 ... 🤓

@ParadeGrotesque did you tried compile with --enable-lto (Use link time optimization)?

@r1w1s1

Thanks! I will try to enable LTO if the 1st compilation works.
