I wish to emulate an ARM architecture (I wish to compile software for my DNS-323 NAS drive, to be more precise) and I'm having a hard time.

First I tried installing Q, which is an OSX port of QEMU. It freezes when I try to launch it. Then I tried to download the source code for QEMU and apply a patch someone had written to compile QEMU under Leopard, but that isn't working either.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I was trying to get this running so I could check out the Raspberry PI OS under Mac OSX. I found this page:

The steps are:

  1. Install macports
  2. In a terminal, type: sudo port install qemu +target_arm

That's it!
