As your own 1.6.2 build works, but the 1.7.0 build fails, there will be a commit somewhere in the middle which makes things go bad. git bisect will help you to find this commit. BTW, I just prepared qemu-w64-setup-20140206.exe. Maybe you want to give it a try. Regards Stefan ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread
