Re: [Qemu-devel] Question/problems with Qemu and 64Bit Opensuse 10.2

[Werner Dittmann <Werner.Dittmann@t-online.de>]

Just forgot to give the info about my system:

Qemu was built and runs on a Suse 10.1 64 bit system (AMD CPU). Also,
while compiling Qemu I got quite some warning about casting pointers to
integer of different size (64bit vs 32 bit). Is this ok?

Regards,
Werner
