Build qemu on MacOS

Automated build script

See the attached file for an automated build script. To use:

  1. Download the latest compressed tar files into a build/work directory. See the list down below for their names and where you can get them from. Make sure the automated build script is in the same directory.
  2. Modify the install directory setting in the build script, if required. It's initially set to /Users/Shared leading to the built software to be installed in /Users/Shared/qemu-<version>. Build options for qemu are towards the bottom of the script.
  3. Remove or move any existing/old destination directories (as well as any PATH variable pointing to them).
  4. The component packages are untarred into the same directory as the build script. You need to remove them manually if you want to rebuild.
  5. Run the script.
