Note on using non-x86 architectures
----------------------------------------------------------------------
In theory libguestfs should work on non-x86 architectures. Usually if
it doesn't it's because qemu isn't available or cannot boot the
kernel.
For ARM you will need to specify the exact machine type and CPU
variant that is required to boot the Linux kernel (there's no way to
know this except by looking at how the Linux kernel was configured).
For example:
./configure \
--with-qemu="qemu-system-arm" \
--with-qemu-options="-M versatilepb -cpu arm926"
./configure \
--with-qemu="qemu-system-arm" \
--with-qemu-options="-M vexpress-a15 -cpu cortex-a15"
Note that since virtio is required by libguestfs, and virtio is a
PCI-based architecture, whatever architecture qemu emulates MUST
support PCI.
For PPC64 you will need to specify the IBM pSeries machine type:
./configure \
--with-qemu="qemu-system-ppc64" \
--with-qemu-options="-M pseries"
After building libguestfs, run 'make quickcheck' and pay close
attention to the qemu command line and kernel output.
