Hi folks,

I figured out the problems by parsing info from config.log. In case anybody is having similar issues, you can try these -

(1) pkg-config wasn't detecting lua since Lua's "sudo make install" didn't create lua.pc file. So I went ahead and manually created a lua.pc in /usr/lib/pkgconfig (in fact, even /usr/share/pkconfig would do I guess).

(2) Apart from maths lib to be included, we also need -ldl. So, added --extra-ldflags="-lm -ldl" to build.sh script.

Thanks,

Hi folks,

I am trying to build qemu-0.15.x for serialICE by running build.sh script. However, it fails stating Lua 5.3 wasn't found as below :

"Error Lua version >= 5.3 not found. Can't build QEMU with SerialICE support."

I am on Ubuntu 14.04. I downloaded lua5.3, built and installed it manually. I did not use apt-get for it, because the max it allowed was lua5.2 . As a result, qemu-0.15.x/configure cannot find the lua packages despite it being installed in /usr/local/bin.

After reading previous posts, I added "--extra-ldflags="-lm" " to build.sh script. That also did not help.

Can someone please suggest a way to get it working - like changing some path names / modifying the configure script ? I've a feeling build.sh isn't able to identify lua, despite it being in the right path.

Thanks,
