I followed the following steps to install qemu 

# On Linux, you may need to install the SDL development libraries to get a graphical VGA window. On Debian/Ubuntu, this is the libsdl1.2-dev package.
# Configure the source code
Linux: ./configure --disable-kvm [--prefix=PFX] [--target-list="i386-softmmu x86_64-softmmu"]
OS X: ./configure --disable-kvm --disable-sdl [--prefix=PFX] [--target-list="i386-softmmu x86_64-softmmu"]
The prefix argument specifies where to install QEMU; without it QEMU will install to /usr/local by default. The target-list argument simply slims down the architectures QEMU will build support for.
# Run make && make install

But I get the following error :

cannot create regular file `PFX/bin': No such file or directory

    You must not literally enter PFX on the command line.

    The PFX token is actually a placeholder for the actual path prefix passed to configure (usually either /usr, /usr/local or /opt, depending on where you want the package to be installed).
