We should have an @item about any library dependencies we need that aren't provided by Apple. I think that's just glib, but it's been so long since I installed dependencies for QEMU I forget if we need anything else third-party.

This is probably what a mac user will have to install when installing QEMU for the first time: - libffi - gettext - glib - pgk-config - autoconfig - automake - libtool - pixman This is all I had to install when installing QEMU onto Mac OS 10.9 for the first time. I could put this information in its own section like this: Additional requirements (install in order) 1. libffi 2. gettext 3. glib 4. pgk-config 5. autoconfig 6. automake 7. libtool 8. pixman Each item will be a hyperlink to each item's web site.

Does this sound right? Yes, that sounds good. . We could add a note at the end too: "You may find it easiest to get these from a third-party packager such as Homebrew, Macports or Fink." -- PMM

That might be a possibility for many of these packages. Will send in a new patch with the added suggestions above.
