qemu-kvm apparently expects a couple of options in /etc/make.conf, namely QEMU_SOFTMMU_TARGETS and QEMU_USER_TARGETS. The "documentation" that I could find in Google is underwhelming, to say the least. I could guess from the names alone that they "define targets"...dohhh. It could use an example.
For instance, my physical machine (i.e. the host) is x86_64, running 64-bit Gentoo. I would like to emulate a 32-bit x86 (i386 ?). I will be trying to run 32-bit Gentoo and OS/2 Warp 4. My uneducated guess is QEMU_SOFTMMU_TARGETS="i386" QEMU_USER_TARGETS="x86_64" Is this correct? If not, what should I be using? Also, are there any gotcha's for file access from the guest to the host? Rather than re-downloading stuff all the time, I'm thinking of giving the guest read-only access to the host's /usr/portage. That should cover both syncing and distfiles. My only concern is how the different profiles are handled, i.e. 64-bit versus 32-bit. -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org>
