Compiling QEMU with SPICE support

rated 0 times [ 3] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 8647 / 3 Years ago, thu, august 19, 2021, 4:29:27

I am trying to compile QEMU 1.3 with Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise Pangolin) with SPICE enabled, but I get this error:

ERROR

ERROR: User requested feature spice

ERROR: configure was not able to find it

ERROR

I have read around, and it seems I should edit the pkg configuration path. I am running Ubuntu, and I tried changing the pkg configuration, but I am guessing...help?

You need to install spice-protocol first. Unfortunately (atleast on 12.10) it is not available in the main repositories, so you will have to download and compile it:

wget http://spice-space.org/download/releases/spice-protocol-0.12.3.tar.bz2

tar -xjf spice-protocol-0.12.3.tar.bz2

cd spice-protocol*

./configure

make

sudo make install

If you prefer you can use git:

git clone git://git.freedesktop.org/git/spice/spice-protocol

If you have build-essentail installed, the compilation should go without any problem.

After this just proceed to the compilation of qemu enabling spice, passing --enable-spice to configure:

./configure --enable-spice

# make & make install

Hope this helps.
