Using openembedded to build QEMU

這篇文章主要來說明如何使用Openembedded/Krogoth來build出QEMU for ARM。
步驟大概就是：
先下載yp-krogoth之後，source目錄下的oe-init-build-env，接著再編輯conf/local.conf，最後就是執行bitbake core-image-minimal。
我的Krogoth最後一個commit ID是e93596f。

You had no conf/local.conf file. This configuration file has therefore been
created for you with some default values. You may wish to edit it to, for
example, select a different MACHINE (target hardware). See conf/local.conf
for more information as common configuration options are commented.

You had no conf/bblayers.conf file. This configuration file has therefore been
created for you with some default values. To add additional metadata layers
into your configuration please add entries to conf/bblayers.conf.

The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about OE including a reference
manual which can be found at:

### Shell environment set up for builds. ###

You can now run 'bitbake <target>'

Common targets are:
    core-image-minimal
    core-image-sato
    meta-toolchain
    meta-ide-support

You can also run generated qemu images with a command like 'runqemu qemux86'
