[Qemu-devel] Why, Fabrice? (CORRECTION: adlib emulation NOT compiled in the default binary?)

[user user]

Why isn't the adlib emulation compiled in the default
binary? Please do that.
 
It's this one:
[qemu-0.7.2-i386.tar.gz - Binary distribution for
linux-i386 (untar it in '/').]

Wasn't there an issue with adlib emulation that caused problems with Windows
guests? (I know that malc_'s recent audio patches fix the problem, but I don't
know if they've been committed to CVS yet or not.)

As far as I can remember, it was due to some licensing issue. The Adlib code
floating around (that you can find in projects like Mame) is of a strange
license that is not compliant with the one of QEMU.

I may be wrong though :)

You are wrong. fmopl.c that is used in QEMU is LGPLed it is disabled by
default because it uses floating point unit and Fabrice has objections.
There is however patch to use ymf262 from MAME, that you have to apply
manually, but that's beside the point.

So does that mean you can't have Adlib emulation in
the Mac version of QEMU?

Huh? What any of it has to do with Mac? Configure it yourself
with --enable-adlib and build.
