We have tons of hand-crafted pixel shuffeling code all over the place which I want replace with pixman library calls. It's a long road and will take quite some time. I wanna have pixman as core service in qemu for that, not some optional add-on. > My immediate motivation was that the QEMU-supplied pixman was being a > pain to cross compile (especially without hacking up the generated QEMU > makefiles to pass additional things to pixman's configure), We pass on cross-prefix to pixman's configure, so it should JustWork[tm]. And it actually works for windows cross builds using the mingw toolchain. If it doesn't work for your setup I'd much prefer to fix that. > and in > general it would be nice to not have to carry around graphical baggage > when running on hardware that doesn't even have a display (so I was more > inclined to do this than to spend effort fixing the pixman build). I run qemu on headless machines alot, then connect via vnc/spice ... cheers, Gerd
