Could someone provide prebuilt Linux binaries for both 1g and 2g?

Hey, I've been trying to get this running under Linux, after digging around in some threads, applying dozens of compiler flags, and even manually patching the code (https://patchew.org/QEMU/[email protected]/) I cannot get it to compile.

For example this is the most recent one, but there were at least 10 different ones before:

  GIT     ui/keycodemapdb tests/fp/berkeley-testfloat-3 tests/fp/berkeley-softfloat-3 dtc

So it'd be much appreciated, preferably with the patches applied that prevent crashing. :)

I feel like if you are having this much trouble compiling this, a prebuilt binary won't do much good.

What I did was compile it on Ubuntu 23.10 (for the 2G) (Arch Linux works too, likely any post-2022 distro does too) with the configure command of "../configure --enable-sdl --disable-cocoa --target-list=arm-softmmu --disable-capstone --disable-slirp --extra-cflags=-I/usr/include/openssl --extra-ldflags='-L/usr/lib -lcrypto' --enable-pie --disable-werror" from inside the "build" folder. Then you can just make -j(however many cores you have) like normal. I raised an issue about this here: https://github.com/devos50/qemu-ios/issues/71

open qemu/pc-bios/keymaps/meson.build change the 'ar' to 'ara'

This worked for me, was able to run without issue. If more people can confirm this works, I don't see why it shouldn't be added to the documentation @devos50?

This does seem to work for 2G, I have given up on building 1G for now. Thank you!

I am working on creating a GitHub workflow that compiles the entire emulator, see #106. However, I'm not sure how easy it would be to re-distribute this since, as far as I know, the binary is not statically compiled and it might be that on other systems, some paths to shared libraries differ.

I tried yesterday to do a static compilation, but that resulted in a bunch of errors, so I probably need to do a bit more work on that.
