Today i successfully built qemu-2.4.1 using the same toolchain that i used to build this

I doubt it’ll build anywhere near as cleanly as qemu has become heavily linux/glib2 dependent…. it may be easier to cross build it from Linux.

– automake
– autoconf
– libtool
When I extract the source tar miserably fails to make a couple of symbolik lynks
.1) /qemu-src/roms/u-boot/tools/patman/patman -> /qemu-src/roms/u-boot/tools/patman/patman.py
2) /qemu-src/roms/u-boot/tools/buildman/buildman -> /qemu-src/roms/u-boot/tools/buildman/buildman.py

when I compile the program I get this error
C:/MinGW/include/glib-2.0/glib/gmem.h:70:7: note: expected ‘gpointer’ but argument is of type ‘int’
void g_free (gpointer mem);
^
make: *** [qga/commands-win32.o] Error 1

this is my configure command (all in one line of course)

$ ../qemu-2.7.0-rc4/configure –target-list=i386-softmmu –prefix=./Qemu-2.7.0-r4_win32/ –docdir=./Qemu-2.7.0-r4_win32/Doc –with-confsuffix=/Bios –cc=gcc –cxx=g++ –disable-werror

I’m building out of source tree

Your build works absolutely fine.
I guess this is caused by the version of GTK that I’m using. on GTK’s website you can read:
“The current GTK+ stack uses APIs that are available only on Windows Vista or later.
If you require builds for unsupported versions of Windows, you should do a custom build of an older version of GLib and GTK+.”
It talks about GLib 2.48 and I have Glib 2.49 installed with Cygwin. Can you explain me where did you download and Install msys? I installed the packages from http://www.mingw.org. How long does it take to compile GLib under a virtual machine? Someone says even more than 7 hours. I really need some help. I wasted a lot of time for this. I found these packages on the Qemu wiki page that talks about cross compiling the emulator. How do I install them?

cool, I’d recommend altering the SDL keyboard code to add control+alt+d to do a CAD… NT is unusable in Qemu without that.. and control+alt+r for a reset helps pesky MS-DOS as well… Oh and don’t forget to enable the sound blaster & Adlib, and ‘fix’ the NE2000 to use IRQ 10, since Qemu can’t share IRQ 9 anymore…..

Yes i’m familiar with SDL..

i finally been able to build it, not that hard after know :), i did the mingw method, just installed it and unarchived the gtk+ inside it, and voila, the only issue i had was in configure –static, wasn’t finding the zlib in static mode, but it turns out i just had to rename libz.dll.a to libz.a

life brazil, well depends can be good in certain locations, but generally there are high taxes wich sucks, but some ppl can live with it 😉

oh wow that is ancient, 0.9! .. although that train did have good ISA emulation, good enough to run Novell Netware! ..

SDL is used for graphics, keyboard and sound..

I always hear Brazil is nice to visit, but rough to live in.. I guess we’ll find out with the build up to the world cup!

one doesn’t support “__thread” keyword the other just doesn’t detect as it is gcc4

but I actually found something…

https://sites.google.com/site/qemuwin/

it seems that only requires a sdl.dll which i wont use it since i will not start in a separate window, but unfortunately isn’t a newer version.. but i guess it will do it for now..

i’m currently living in brasil (i’m portuguese) and its a great country ;).. Obrigado again

Building Qemu can be somewhat involved.. going the static route is quite hard on Win32 as later versions of GCC tend to require you pull in other DLL’s.. which in its own can be quite vexing.

If you look on my vpsland site, there is quite a few binaries and stuff to dig through….

If you like installable packages, check out my old 386 BSD thing.. the NSIS source should be in there as well.

Oh and although not that Portugese per say, but a friend from Brazil first showed me Qemu soo.. 🙂

(funny i’m actually portuguese also and im just googling for qemu) as he said.. Obrigado!
