I've been following the qemu-user's forum thread with CoMiKe describing how to build qemu under windows with MingW. For those of us who don't use Linux, the regular instructions are about as clear as mud.
CoMiKe's instructions are pretty good, and as soon as a few more people give it a try and work out any more bugs, I hope the directions get added to the official qemu docs. It looks like there's a compile error for Mingw for the current cvs. Here's the relevant section. gcc -Wall -O2 -g -fno-strict-aliasing -fomit-frame-pointer -I. -I/home/Admin/qemu/target-i386 -I/home/Admin/qemu -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -I/home/Admin/qemu/fpu -I/home/Admin/qemu/slirp -c -o slirp/udp.o /home/Admin/qemu/slirp/udp.c H:/MSys/home/Admin/qemu/slirp/udp.c: In function `udp_emu': H:/MSys/home/Admin/qemu/slirp/udp.c:428: warning: no semicolon at end of struct or union H:/MSys/home/Admin/qemu/slirp/udp.c:428: error: syntax error before '.' token H:/MSys/home/Admin/qemu/slirp/udp.c:405: warning: unused variable `addrlen' H:/MSys/home/Admin/qemu/slirp/udp.c:429: warning: unused variable `seqn' H:/MSys/home/Admin/qemu/slirp/udp.c:430: warning: unused variable `message' H:/MSys/home/Admin/qemu/slirp/udp.c:431: warning: unused variable `data_type' H:/MSys/home/Admin/qemu/slirp/udp.c:432: warning: unused variable `pkt_len' H:/MSys/home/Admin/qemu/slirp/udp.c: At top level: H:/MSys/home/Admin/qemu/slirp/udp.c:433: warning: type defaults to `int' in declaration of `cu_head' H:/MSys/home/Admin/qemu/slirp/udp.c:433: warning: data definition has no type or storage class H:/MSys/home/Admin/qemu/slirp/udp.c:435: error: syntax error before "switch" H:/MSys/home/Admin/qemu/slirp/udp.c:618: warning: type defaults to `int' in declaration of `cu_head' H:/MSys/home/Admin/qemu/slirp/udp.c:618: error: conflicting types for 'cu_head' H:/MSys/home/Admin/qemu/slirp/udp.c:433: error: previous declaration of 'cu_head' was here H:/MSys/home/Admin/qemu/slirp/udp.c:618: error: `m' undeclared here (not in a function) H:/MSys/home/Admin/qemu/slirp/udp.c:618: warning: data definition has no type or storage class H:/MSys/home/Admin/qemu/slirp/udp.c:619: error: syntax error before '->' token make[1]: *** [slirp/udp.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/Admin/qemu Plus an assortment of warnings. I would have expected qemu to compile cleanly. I tried the cvs version over the past several days, and they fail. The official 0.70 build compiles, though. At first I thought I was doing something wrong, since I'm not familiar with building it. Especially since I would have expected somebody to have complained by now. And I've even tried two versions of Mingw/GCC. But the error is pretty consistant, and the official 0.70 build off qemu.org compiles and runs. So I figured I should report it, in case it's a Windows specific problem. We all know how many windows users there are in here.... And even fewer trying to build it themselves. _______________________________________________ Qemu-devel mailing list Qemu-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/qemu-devel
