Before running scripts you should install python module with command:

or on macos Sequoia:

python3 -m pip install tomli

Building

Order of running scripts:

• qemu-download.sh: downloads required packages in ./download/ directory and them unpack to ./src/. Both directories are created in current directory.
• qemu-build-libs.sh: builds and installs software required to build qemu. Libraries are installed in ./lib/. All libs are build static only. Please note that the script does not build qemu.
• qemu-build.sh: builds and installs qemu in /Applications/qemu-<version>

Scripts do not modify shell startup files, so you have to add /Application/qemu-<version>/bin to $PATH

Installed versions:

• qemu 9.2.0
• glib 2.83.2
• pkg-config 0.29.2
• libslirp 4.8.0
• ninja 1.12.1
• meson 1.5.1

After successfull intalation you can remove files from ./download/, ./src/ and ./lib/
