Hi Andrew,
Very interesting, I was thinking about the same, for testing arm64
versions. I have some experience with qemu, although I mostly use
VirtualBox.
It is quite possible to use UEFI boot with qemu.
I presume the emulated arm64 machine is good enough for compilations,
for actually testing CinGG you probably need more??
as for runtime it works via vnc (!) on 4 (2ghz max) + 4(1.5 ghz max) arm core and 2 gb ram (+zswap around 1.4 gb shared with android 10) . sometimes it works fast enough (realtime) with even fullhd h264 video, sometimes not - probably due to cpu freqency/sheduling enforced by kernel)
more memory, (-m 2047) more -smp :)
there is link for opensuse install, you can use pre-installed os image
or debian arm64 image (also pre-installed, so no need for multihour long install)
you can prepare specific source image with pre-downloaded/unpacked/patched source and add this as second hdd...
A problem might be missing build utilities, I know a programmer who
(for fun) wanted to build a CinGG for macOS had problems there.
