I know that I can

LIBUSB=yes ./qemu.SlackBuild

to get the usbredirection but how do I tell it to build with both usbredirection and spice?

You should read the Qemu README that provides hints.

https://slackbuilds.org/slackbuilds/...em/qemu/README

Also, are you building on -current or 14.1?

I am building on 14.1 and will attempt to build it on current as soon as I get this sorted out on 14.1.

maybe

LIBSPICE=yes LIBUSB=yes ./qemu.SlackBuild

that is what I don't understand?

I always read the readme but did not quite get the procedure?

Yes, but...

First install spice and usbredir

Got it

That seems to have worked

Welcome!

Opps I spoke to soon the usbredirection seems to have not worked.

I installed everything before I built QEMU so I am not sure where I missed a step.

It does not complain in virt-manager until I tell it to start then I get

Error connection to graphical console
USB redirection not compile in.

I wonder if I need to rebuild virt-machine?

It will save you some time if you use sbopkg + sqg. You are probably missing a dependency because you are installing each slackbuild manually.

Yes, rebuild it all in order.

Did you download all the files included in the SlackBuild and the required sources? There is a libusb-1.0.19.tar.xz file in the Sources section needed by the SlackBuild.

See this thread https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...ir-4175569005/

Yes I think it is working now with spice and usbredirect.

Everything seems to be working so far

Had a problem with the virtual network, but was able I hope to fix it by doing the following.

ifconfig virbr0 down
brctl delbr virbr0

reboot

virsh net-start default

it then complained about the ip address already being in use so I rebooted again just for fun and that fixed it somehow.

I really though dnsmasq was the problem and would have to do something about that, but for some reason it just started working

I'll see if this is true when later when I reboot the system again.
