AIX now runs on Qemu

Post by louisw3 »

all the details are here:

Be sure to clone the git repo like this:

Code: Select all

git clone --branch 40p-20190406-aix-boots --single-branch https://github.com/artyom-tarasenko/qemu.git
Otherwise it'll pull incorrectly resulting in either incomplete source, or incorrect source that'll build but not run.

I used 4.3.3 and had it installed in about 11 minutes for the minimal BOS.

I had no idea! Thanks for this mate, I'm going to give it a try. I got 6.1 though, I'll see if it boots.
