I contacted them and they said use this:

git://github.com/mit-pdos/xv6-public.git

And OP should correct the original link to:

Has anyone gotten their qemu to compile? I patched around this problem (I have gcc 4.something):

ansel:~/xv6/qemu ./configure --disable-kvm ERROR: glib-2.12 required to compile QEMU

and then hit this one:

ansel:~/xv6/qemu ./configure --disable-kvm

ERROR: DTC not present. Your options: (1) Preferred: Install the DTC devel package (2) Fetch the DTC submodule, using: git submodule update --init dtc

got the submodule, did a make:

Makefile:116: * target pattern contains no `%'. Stop.

I'm on Ubuntu 14.04.3 and up to date.

Which qemu are you cloning? When we taught 6.828 over IAP term we ported the patches to qemu 1.7.0 and put them up at https://github.com/geofft/qemu. I see the repo has a 2.3.0 and 2.4.0 branch now too. I last built 1.7.0 on Debian 6 (squeeze); newer Debian and Ubuntu should work fine. (Make sure you have libsdl1.2-dev installed)

I got it to work but I have no idea how. I tried all the branches and the official sources, they all failed the same way. I deleted and recloned the 1.7.0 branch and that worked. Shrug.

Thanks for your help.
