qemu on Slackware 14.1

Ok, got everything fixed now. Did a rebuild of the python pakagers and removed python3 completely. Idk if this fixed it or the fact I also upgraded my xming and changed some setting there, but whatever the case I have spice fully working and VNC.

<- Happy camper!

Hi!

I came here from google. I was searching how to get rid of this message: "usb redirection support not compiled in".

I solved by recompiling qemu with --enable-spice and --enable-usb-redir *AND* recompiling spice-gtk with --enable-usb-redir .

I am posting this reply here, just in case...

Thanks!

Hello there,

Slackware's libusb is the problem. Slackware's libusb is too old.
First install usbredir fro Slackbuilds.org. Then google for libusb-1.0.19.tar.xz, and place it in the qemu slackbuild directory with the qemu source package.
And run 'LIBUSB=yes ./qemu.SlackBuild'. Then install the resulting package which will be placed in /tmp, with installpkg.

Good luck

This is pretty much what the SlackBuild for qemu already does.
