In reply to Linux Geek. Use either a newer or older version, this version has issues with 4GB files.

Is there any solution for “error while writing”, I’m getting the same error. I Tried Different Versions of Qemu

In reply to Doston. That's because the IPv6 related entry points, freeaddrinfo, getfreeaddr and getnameinfo only exist on Windows XP SP1 or later. I believe that these entry points first existed in MSVC++ 7.1. A hex editor would have to be used to replace the entry points with gethostname; otherwise, it won't work and users would have to upgrade.

I downloaded the latest version of Qemu (0.15.1) and I did a check of the files in Dependency Walker utility and I found that despite Qemu being complied with MSVC++ 2005, the entry point symbols “freeaddrinfo”, “getaddrinfo” and “getnameinfo” are actually related to IPv6 and they only exist in Windows XP Service Pack 1 and later.

For me, the latest version of Qemu can still run on Win2K if I use a hex editor to edit out the entry points, “freeaddrinfo”, “getaddrinfo”, and “getnameinfo” with “gethostname”.

In reply to Doston.

Looks like there is some special timer code in there as well that doesn’t run on NT 4.0 or Windows 2000 … seems they’ve made some big infrastructure updates…

In reply to neozeed. Yes, this is a fully updated box (as 2k goes...).

In reply to Doston. sounds like an old version of Winsock 2.0 ... have you installed Windows 2000 SP4 + the rollup hotfix?

I have windows 2000 installed, and your package does not work. I keep getting “Entry Point Not Found” on the WS2_32.dll (procedure entry point freeaddrinfo not located). Is this because it will not run on/compile for Windows 2k, or because it was compiled for a different version of Windows?

Managed to get it to compile qemu-img by telling it not to exit on error if no glib. Compiles OK and then used strip to cut down on size. It now works with large vdi files 🙂

I installed python (win32 version) then just passed it the path to the python.exe .. glib2 was the far more involve part after getting pyton installed.
