Unpacking and configuring kvm components
Unpacking and configuring kvm components
Prerequisites
*kvm-release.tar.gz
*A VT capable Intel processor, or an SVM capable AMD processor
qemu prerequisites:
`zlib` libraries and headers
`SDL` libraries and headers
`alsa` libraries and headers (optional alsa support: disabled by default but can be enabled with –enable-alsa)
`gnutls` libraries and headers (optional VNC TLS support: enabled by default but can be disabled with –disable-vnc-tls)
kernel headers (on Fedora, the kernel-devel package)
On a debian etch system you can install the prerequisites with:
apt-get install gcc libsdl1.2-dev zlib1g-dev libasound2-dev linux-kernel-headers pkg-config libgnutls-dev
If you’re not running a patched kernel:
tar xzf kvm-release.tar.gz
cd kvm-release
./configure –prefix=/usr/local/kvm
make
sudo make install
sudo /sbin/modprobe kvm-intel
# or: sudo /sbin/modprobe kvm-amd
cd kvm-release
./configure –prefix=/usr/local/kvm
make
sudo make install
sudo /sbin/modprobe kvm-intel
# or: sudo /sbin/modprobe kvm-amd
