Qemu looks for gcc-3.3 and can't find it, but on my system is right where qemu looks (/usr/bin/gcc-3.3).

I assume you're on Intel? I get the same error. I think all ports requiring gcc3 are broken on Intel. If so the summary line should be changed to qemu doesn't compile on Intel and it will just have to set until the app is updated. Meantime, there is an offshot of this project that is a binary. ​http://www.kju-app.org/kju/ Or parallels. :)

No sorry, I'm on ppc I forgot to mention this.

[markd@…]

Hmmn. I suppose it must build it with the default compiler then. Have you tried gcc_select 3.3 before installing it? If that works maybe it would be worth some more effort to fix it. If not only app updates would fix it anyway.

[pmq@…]

Assigning it to me. I provided the last update, and will shortly commit a bump to 0.8.2 and an additional patch. As per you original bug report, I have no idea what happened. Let's first see if you can reproduce on the new version, then we'll elaborate.

[pmq@…]

OK. I'll close the bug as fixed, but feel free to reopen it if you were to still experience the problem.

I get similar error with qemu 0.9.0 on Intel (even after a gcc_select 3.3)

Error: Target com.apple.configure returned: configure failure: shell command "cd "/opt/local/var/db/dports/build/_opt_local_var_db_dports_sources_rsync.rsync.darwinports.org_dpupdate_dports_emulators_qemu/work/qemu-0.9.0" && ./configure --prefix=/opt/local --enable-coreaudio --enable-cocoa --cc=/usr/bin/gcc-3.3 --host-cc=/usr/bin/gcc-3.3 --interp-prefix=/opt/local/share/qemu-%M" returned error 1 Command output: ERROR: "/usr/bin/gcc-3.3" either does not exist or does not work

Hi Thomas, The patches to make it work are at ​http://gwenole.beauchesne.info/projects/qemu/. It is probably just a matter of editing the Portfile to add the 2 (or 3, if qemu-0.8.0-i386-FORCE_RET.patch is needed) ones. As I don't have an x86 machine, please send me a diff if you succeed.

[arto.bendiken@…]

Looks like the best set of patches is at ​http://www.kju-app.org/proj/browser/trunk/patches from the Q project.

@ arto: it seemed to me when I had a look that they were the same, I might be wrong though.
Downgrading severity, as no one seems to care enough to patch/lend a hand on having access to an x86 machine.

[pmq@…]

The new patches for 0.9.1 are at ​http://svn.kju-app.org/trunk/qemu/patches/. I just orphaned the port because I'm doing it a disservice by not updating it.
