of other UNIX targets. The simple steps to build QEMU are:
- mkdir build
- cd build
- ../configure
- make

+ ../configure
+ make
Complete details of the process for building and configuring QEMU for
all supported host platforms can be found in the qemu-tech.html file.

The QEMU source code is maintained under the GIT version control system.
- git clone git://git.qemu-project.org/qemu.git
+ git clone git://git.qemu-project.org/qemu.git
When submitting patches, the preferred approach is to use 'git

found when running code built from QEMU git or upstream released sources
should be reported via:
- https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/
+ https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/
If using QEMU via an operating system vendor pre-built binary package, it
is preferable to report bugs to the vendor's own bug tracker first. If
