Browsing the archives I spotted something I wanted to comment on.

As I've talked to a person on IRC presenting itself as the author, the
information I got was that the thing at the .co.uk site is a Visual Basic
application that works by hijacking the SDL window from the QEMU process and
displaying it as if it was its own output.

Possibly that's where the 733MHz CPU and 500MB free harddisk space
requirments (http://www.revenitor.co.uk/qews.asp) might be from...


As for running ReactOS under QEMU (on Win32); yes, I have run it.

I'm running it inside QEMU everyday.

Okay first it seems I was largely wrong about this shell... it seems
that although it is not complete it is not vaporware (apologies to Alex)

Filip, are you running the windows port from CVS? Or are you running
ReactOS from QEMU under Linux?

I'm running the Windows port from CVS with some local fixes (i think 
most of then appered on the mailing list already) and I also the tried 
the port made by Mike Nordell with similar results.

Where can the WIN32 port be downloaded?

Thanks,

Martin --

You must build Win32 port from CVS AFAIK. It has patches from Kazu and I
think some from Mike as well.

I made an effort to get it to cross compile (Debian Mingw32), but the
last time I tried it, the end product silently exits without doing
anything. When I have a chance I am going to debug it and figure out
what's up.
 
Others have been building on the MSYS/Mingw32 under windows, you should
have better luck in that environment.

Later,

You can get my binaries from www.volny.cz/xnavara/qemu.zip. It's build 
from today's CVS with two changes:
- Commented out code for translating scancodes, because it's not needed 
on WIN32.
- Make the application a console type, so I can see the help. (And close 
the console on normal run.)

Yaknow im a little confused about why it was thought QEmu Workstation was
vaporware/hoax. I barely mentioned it untill it was ready for people to
download and try out.

Yes it is a Visual Basic program that hijacks the window and sets itself to be
the parent window.

I will be making it GPL shortly, most probably next weekend.

Ive noticed that over 110 copies have been downloaded so I would like to take
this oppertunity to thank people for their interest :)

Sorry for that. Please note that I removed this information from the Wiki 
yesterday. So I can only apologise and say "thanks" for releasing QEmu 
Workstation.

Have you ever tried Gambas (http://gambas.sourceforge.net), an implementation 
of VisualBasic for GNU/Linux with Qt bindings. I tested it and was quite 
impressed. It seems more powerfull than VB itself. A screenshot:

What do you think of Gambas?
