Can runq be compiled & run on Mac OS X without QEMU? #5

Closed amorphid closed 4 years ago

It wasn't clear to me from the README. If the answer is no, I'll stop trying to install it on my Mac :) If they answer is yes, I'll submit a bug report. Since it's runc based, I'm guessing the answer is no.

EDIT: Changed title from Should runq be usable on Mac OS X? to Can runq be compiled & run on Mac OS X without QEMU?

You are right. The answer is no. The host must be a regular Linux system that is capable of running Qemu/KVM guests.

I don't understand this actually. macOS can in fact run QEMU/KVm guests. Its as simple as installing qemu with brew install qemu and running it like anything else. What am I missing here?

@prologic I was looking into whether I could compile & run it directly on MacOS w/o QEMU, and the answer was no. I updated the title to be more clear about that.
