Somewhere over China while I was ignoring the world

things happened. Anyways I built out the qemu 1.4.1 and it is horribly SLOW. I don’t know why I haven’t even begun to think about gprof or what is up with GCC 4.7.2 trying to build GLIB2 as I’m having zero luck of building out a clean version.

It takes about as long as an XT to boot MS-DOS 5, so I really don’t see this as being terribly useful to anyone.

Qemu 1.4.1 released

The source code is here.

For those wondering, I have a win32 build of 1.4.0 but it is on a hard disk that I can’t use now as I’m currently living on a boat.  Which has been fun, but the only catch is the cheap power supply is 220v and the boat is 110v.  Plus I don’t have a monitor.  I should be leaving for Japan in a few weeks, so I can get a new power supply and monitor there as I plan on spending two months.

I haven’t forgotten or moved on, I’m just still on my big vacation thing.

Hong Kong has really been great, I’ve met some fabulous people out here.  If I could get a job here I’d move here in 5 minutes (well I’d just find an apartment as I’m already here…) The place is awesome, I’d recommend anyone to check it out.  But I don’t speak Mandarin or Canto so that won’t be happening.  🙁

I’ll try to do a small best of photos out here, but sadly the weather hasn’t been cooperating too well, and pollution has been off the chart… but really its a great place! .. !

In other news, I’m sure you’ve all read about the internet archive having a massive collection of software.?  Really good news as so much old stuff, besides the shovel ware gets disappeared.

So yes, I’m still alive, just .. been somewhat unavailable.

Qemu 1.2.2 released!

I’ve just noticed over on the Qemu site, that the 1.2 train has just released a new version, 1.2.2.

I think they backported the PCI bus pass through available on Linux?

The changelog still points back to the 1.2 changelog.

I may have to see about getting access to a Windows machine I can trash trying to get a good MinGW build going…

So .. That means in the meantime, no builds from me.

Qemu 1.3 released!

You can download the source from qemu.org.  And the changelog is here.

I am on an extended holiday, and I don’t have access to any Windows build machines, or OS X build environment.. So I won’t have a build of this for quite some time (March?)..  Unless I score something in the UK that is.  Or until I find an external disk I can abuse the living daylights out of compiling.  The laptop I’m using is all flash and I don’t think it’d be ‘nice’ to run compile on it for fear of burning it out.

Anyways yeah, new Qemu.

These aren’t my binaries.. but here you go. No idea if they work, either.
