I created a QEMU-0.7.2 DEB for Xandros 3.0.2 with checkinstall by doing the following:

Downloaded Xandros 2.6.11 kernel source, libsdl1.2-dev, and texi2html. I extracted Xandros 2,6,11 kernel source.
# ln -s /usr/src/xandros-kernel-source-2.6.11 /usr/src/linux
edit the /usr/src/linux/makefile so that EXTRAVERSION = x1
# cp /boot/config-2.6.11-x1 /usr/src/linux/.config
# cd /usr/src/linux
# make bzImage
extracted QEMU-0.7.2 and KQEMU-0.7.2; then moved KQEMU-0.7.2 into the QEMU-0.7.2 source folder.
# cd /root/qemu-0.7.2
# ./configure
# make
# checkinstall -D


I know libsdl1.2-dev & texi2html are required dependencies for compiling QEMU; however, I dont know if these are still needed after creating the DEB package. Also the following modifications are needed for Xandros 3 in order for QEMU to run properly under Xandros 3:

edit /etc/modules and add loop and kqemu at the bottom of the list of entries.
edit /etc/udev/rules.d/50-xandros-udev.rules and add KERNEL="kqemu", NAME="%k", MODE="0666" at the bottom of the list of entries.
edit /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh and add mknod /dev/kqemu c 250 0 and chmod 666 /dev/kqemu at the bottom of the list just before : exit 0

Can these config file modifications be added to the DEB? And how would this be done?

I'd like to see this new version QEMU added to an alternate Xandros 3 DEB repository; I've posted everything needed to recreate the DEB.

You have my email. Send me a note with what you want your account name to be.

You'll have to SSH in and SCP the files in and ping me if I need to rebuild the packages list in the repository.

There's place for binary and source packages.
