[Qemu-devel] Cross-compilation win32

[Jean-Michel POURE]

Salut Fabrice,

J'espère que tu passes de bonnes vacances. FreeOsZoo demande beaucoup 
d'attention, surtout au lancement pour ne pas décevoir les utilisateurs. Mais 
il semblerait que le concept plaise. Avec un GUI sous GTK2, ce serait un vrai 
carton. On ne finira jamais de te remercier pour ton travail...

Durant une discussion avec Ronald DELOBEL <daimon55@wanadoo.fr>, qui s'occupe 
de l'installeur Win32 (réalisé à partir de ton modèle), il m'indique que des 
patchs sont nécessaires pour cross-compiler sous GNU/Linux.

Depuis les updates de ce matin, il a du mal à s'y retrouver. Est-ce que tu 
penses comprendre à quels patchs il fait référence? Je lui ai suggéré de te 
contacter, je pense qu'il le fera bientôt.

A+, Jean-Michel

Please discard this message written in French.  It can be summarized in:
***********************************************************************************
Ronald DELOBEL outlines that patches are needed to x-compile QEMU for win32 
under GNU/Linux. Do you know what are these patches?

Kind regards,

COMPLETELY OFFTOPIC BUT.....

Damnit I was enjoying improving my French reading skills :)
Seriously my level of French understanding is only GCSE (mid teen) but I 
enjoy trying to read it - I don't see why you should be restricted to 
use just English on a mailing list where the main developer I assume is 
French (and yourself no doubt).

Quite honestly if I needed to reply to it I'd translate it and reply in 
English (obviously at points where I could communicate in French I'd use 
that).

Please, no...

Let me take this opportunity to thank the developers for running the
mailing list and making code comments in English, whatever your reasons
may be. Probably the reason is simply that if folks in country X know a
language besides their own, it is usually English.

FWIW, I learned German as my second language in High School, not French,
and even that I remember very little of. Babelfish is good in a pinch
but not for regular work. This would shut me out, at least.

Or Russian.  Depends on the part of the world that you're in.  :-)

Klasse! Heisst das, wir schreiben uns jetzt Briefe in deutsch?

As for the "Excuse my French": This is probably the clear pronounciation
typical for certain parts of England. It should be "Excuse my frank
language". In the same line, this was probably what Tony B. heard: "They
have rockets", but it was meant as "They have really no bigger weapons
than their cats"...

Dear Benjamin,

Off-the-list, did you ever listen to the Queen speaking French? Quite 
amazingly, she speaks without accent (this is not a joke).

My personal explanation is that the Queen feels French... Less surprisingly, 
recent pools showed that 85% of UK citizen spoke French or intended to speak 
French at home. The young generation sometimes does not speak English at all.

Kind regards,
Jean-Michel

In the part of the UK where I've been a few times, it was common practise
for people to say "Excuse my French." after swearing.

Are you sure they didn't mean the "Kissez-vous mon backside"-type of
French in that poll? :)

Just another proof that French is the official language of UK.

No, I took it for humour. The only true information in this thread is that the 
Queen speaks French fluently, probably better than I can speak any foreign 
language.
