there's a typo line 1432 on vl.c after applying all 4 patches (missing ';') C:/msys/1.0/home/Xian/qemu/vl.c: In function `win32_start_timer': C:/msys/1.0/home/Xian/qemu/vl.c:1432: error: syntax error before '}' token make[1]: *** [vl.o] Error 1 beyond this small typo, I managed to include this in a win32 qemu build. is there a specific practical test to see the improvement in a linux guest when running on a windows host ? -- Christian -- http://detaolb.sourceforge.net/, a linux distribution for Qemu
