Any way to upgrade to Meson > 0.55.3-1~ Debian Sid 32bit?

[DearthnVader]

I'm needing to build the latest Qemu on my G4 Quicksilver with Debian 10 Sid, but when I run:

sudo apt build-dep qemu

It says I need a version of meson greater than the 0.49.2-1 that I have. I did find the Meson source tar, but no build instructions.

Anyone know a Debian repository I can add, like unstable, or whatever, that has any experimental builds greater than 0.55.3-1?

Debian -- Package Search Results -- meson

As you see - it's sid. Try to download only this package (aptitude -t sid download meson) & install it with dpkg. It may require more dependent packages to download/install.

Thanks, that fixed that, but I'm still meeting some unmet dependancies.

libcapstone-dev is not > 4.0.2.

I downloaded the latest source for capstone, and built it with ./make.sh and installed it with ./make.sh install.

Those both went off without any errors, but apt still thinks I have the older version, any clue how I can update it so apt knows I have the latest version installed?

Also, these errors:

 sudo apt-get build-dep qemu

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

My sources.list is likely way off if anyone could offer some help with that too, please.

libcapstone-dev is not > 4.0.2.

Again - try to find the package, not to build it. If you build something in Deb - don't use "configure->make->make install" route, it will break package system. last point have to be checkinstall. You'll need to install package "build-essential" for this (If I remember correctly). If your apckage build succesfully - install it with dpkg.

Another possible route. aptitude update & aptitude -t experimental upgrade libcapstone-dev. Try & see what happens .

Thanks, I'm only needing to compile one target machine, ppc-softmmu, and it's building now so maybe I won't need some of these packages anyways.

Some reason Qemu-system-ppc's MMU emulation is shooting us to the dark side of the moon, when trying to boot off /AAPL,ROM form Open Firmware 2.4.

So I want to test if that's an issue with KVM on my G4.
