Two, install ninja
Ninja is a speed-focused build tool launched by a Google programmer. Generally, programs on Unix/Linux are built and compiled through make/makefile. Ninja greatly improves the build speed by organizing compilation tasks in parallel, while qemu now The build system is based on ninja, so we have to install ninja first
CMake or python can be used to construct Ninja, and re2c needs to be installed first:
apt install re2c
After re2c is successfully installed, start the Ninja installation.
Ninja compilation:
git clone git://github.com/ninja-build/ninja.git && cd ninja
./configure.py --bootstrap

After the installation is successful, use ninja --versionto view the installed version:
