I successfully built two QEMU 6.2 binary packages, one with Arm and one with RISC-V, each with standalone variants for Linux Intel, Linux Arm, Windows Intel, macOS Intel and macOS Arm.
Each package includes only the relevant executables (qemu-system-arm/aarch64 and respectively qemu-system-riscv32/riscv64). However I noticed that the `make install` also creates a `.../shared/qemu` folder with more than 200 MB of binaries. Given that my binary packages are intended to be installed as dependencies during tests, I think it would be a waste of bandwidth to include all those binaries in all distributions. However I don't know if any of those binaries are internally referred by various configuration options, and I'm concerned that simply removing the binaries will result in failures to start the emulation. For bare-metal emulation I expect none, but for Linux emulation there might be some (unfortunately my experience with emulating Linux is poor, and I cannot tell). If there are such cases, could you suggest which binaries are mandatory for inclusion in the QEMU Arm package and which in the QEMU RISC-V package, if any? Also, is there a configuration option to disable the inclusion of those binaries? Thank you, Liviu ------------------------------------------------------------------ p.s.
