Just follow the steps in the "spoiler" on a 64-bit system.

Spoiler:

Those should be complete, what I do is cut&paste the actual commands into a text editor as I use them. So other than obvious changes (pathname to home directory, etc) that list of commands should "just work".

I do these build postings this way, just so that others can duplicate (or correct) what I have done (see first thread post for more words on this).

My thoughts on this:

Spoiler:

I assumed you might say that - and last night went ahead and did all those steps already (ever the keen student.) I did not however "sudo tar -C /opt --extract --file=qemu-1.1.1-arm.tar.gz" until you gave me the green light now.

Just to be clear this is the 64 BIT version...
[Attached.]

Here's my output:

bash-4.1$ sudo tar -C /opt --extract --file=qemu-1.1.1-arm.tar.gz
bash-4.1$ /opt/qemu111/bin/qemu-system-arm --version
QEMU emulator version 1.1.1, Copyright (c) 2003-2008 Fabrice Bellard

So happy days the 64 bit one seems initially to be a possiblity.
NOTES ON 64 BIT

Spoiler:

Whether or not you [ yes - you - future reader of this thread] want to go down this seemingly-filled-with-horrors 64 bit road, is up to you. I can't say I would recommend it given the choice.

A separate 32 bit system for actually creating the solutions seems far most robust, well-supported, and practical. Just saying.

anyways. 64 bit Slackware build attached.
HTH.

ensure you have read the previous threads on this subject -
This probably is not the version you want..
You have been warned...

Installation:
core2quad ~ $ sudo tar -C /opt --extract --file=qemu-1.1.1-arm.tar.gz
core2quad ~ $ /opt/qemu111/bin/qemu-system-arm --version
QEMU emulator version 1.1.1, Copyright (c) 2003-2008 Fabrice Bellard

To activate:
core2quad ~ $ export PATH=/opt/qemu111/bin:$PATH

Let's just check:

bash-4.1$ /opt/qemu111/bin/qemu-system-arm --version
QEMU emulator version 1.1.1, Copyright (c) 2003-2008 Fabrice Bellard

And just double check

bash-4.1$ qemu-system-arm --version
QEMU emulator version 1.1.1, Copyright (c) 2003-2008 Fabrice Bellard
(by not using the direct path we are assuring that the "generally available" reference to qemu-system-arm is indeed the version we want...call me paranoid)

(I.E simply follow the instructions for the 32 bits version - this is just a copy of the threads above.

read up - as in - the previous threads would be my advice before blindly choosing this 64 bit version )
