Full log
Message #5 received at submit <at> debbugs.gnu.org (full text, mbox):
Qemu comes with support for sharing files with a guest via Samba. This
is done by appending something like this to the qemu-system-*
invocation:
… -net user,smb=$HOME/Downloads -net nic
Qemu needs to be told *at configure time* where the smbd executable will
be at runtime. By default this is /usr/sbin/smbd. Users can work
around this problem by installing the “samba” package and creating a
link from /usr/sbin/smbd to the actual executable.
It would be better to fix this, but this would require adding samba as a
dependency to Qemu, so that the location can be set at configure time.
Alternatively, we could patch Qemu to look for smbd depending on an
environment variable.
