To be able to run dynamically linked binaries, QEMU needs to have access to the target ELF interpreter. With the instructions above, you should be able to run statically linked target executables. This command should print entries for each supported target user emulator, except for the host system.ĭepending on the your kernel settings, you may need to set 'vm.mmap_min_addr=0' sysctl option to allow a program being run under a regular user, not root.Check whether the binfmt entries were successfully registered:.# apt install binfmt-support qemu-user-static Install qemu, binfmt-support, and qemu-user-static:.

The binfmt-support package contains a helper script to easily register/unregister binary formats with the kernel using the binfmt_misc module. Note this setup is incompatible with Scratchbox (both use the binfmt_misc module to register the same formats), so it's recommended to remove it (or stop its init script) before continuing. In this text, 'target' means the system being emulated, and 'host' means the system where QEMU is running. This page describes how to setup and use QEMU user emulation in a 'transparent' fashion, allowing execution of non-native target executables just like native ones (i.e./program).
