Qemu build for macOS

How to use the scripts

install some dependencies, these should already exist if brew is used

$ brew install ronn gengetopt automake autoconf libtool cmake meson ninja

run the build-qemu.sh script

$ chmod +x build-qemu.sh

# create the prefix/installation directory
$ mkdir -p /opt/podman/qemu
$ chwon -R <user:group> /opt/podman

$ PREFIX=/opt/podman/qemu ./build-qemu.sh

finally add the $PREFIX/bin to PATH

$ export PATH=$PATH:$PREFIX/bin

test the build using an alpine image (download virtual image: https://www.alpinelinux.org/downloads/)

$ qemu-system-x86_64 -m 512 -nic user -boot d -cdrom alpine-virt-3.15.4-x86.iso -display cocoa
