[Qemu-devel] Qemu + Windows

[Michael Noisternig]

Hi guys,
several things don't work on Windows, as you certainly know. Probably 
most of them are easy to fix. E.g. don't write to stderr on Windows, you 
won't see it (unless redirected), (IIRC).
Also switching between virtual screens does not work.
What I would really like to see is Qemu interacting with GDB, that means 
Qemu on Windows *really* waits for a GDB connection when option -s is 
supplied.
Sorry if you think that I shouldn't post this on a devel list, but I 
think otherwise no-one will hear it. Thanks for listening, and for the 
good work,
Michael Noisternig

You'll see STDERR output as long as Qemu is compiled as a console
application.

There has been couple of patches that allow this to work. The key is 
just to add "-mconsole" to the linker options ...

It works for me...

I've made a patch for this long time ago. You can find it in the mailing 
list archives or somewhere at http://www.h7.dion.ne.jp/~qemu-win/.

The problem is that the official binary on the sf website doesn't print 
*anything* because of this. Not even on "qemu -h".

I posted a program that can change that here:

Oh, wait a minute, there is no official windows build, on the homepage I 
meant. I was talking about the windows build that is linked to at the 
homepage.

Is there somewhere a Windows build available for download that has old 
that patches incorporated? Sorry, but I don't want to download and 
install MingW just for compiling Qemu.
Thanks again,
