Re: [Qemu-discuss] Native 32bit Windows Compile of QEMU 2.1.1 and/or QEMU 2.0.2

This is an interesting article by my collegue Mike Levin who was trying to do the same task about 2 years ago - he gave up and instead used a pre-compiled binary for Windows. He was doing this to build Levinux which although has similiar goals was really more ambitious since it was really a portabl

Thank you Peter, You have clarified a lot of what I have already noticed - I have seen threads where others tried to go down this path and then were steered to a cross-compile from Linux to Windows. I'm not necessarily moving on to anything easier unless it becomes necessary to do so as a refer

Again I have my reasons, I'm hoping not to be convinced away from QEMU but I'm hoping someone might help me get started with Natively Compiling QEMU in W32. So now that I'm clear that I'm staying with QEMU for now. Who is up to the bizzaro challenge of doing this - knows the ins and outs of Mingw3

Yes - I've explored Vagrant and that is not thee solution for me - I believe that QEMU is what I want - the solution is to be available offline - they will be able to ssh into the virtual machine offline and the virtual machine will act as a server alr- In my case use I'm assuming no consistent int

Paul, It strikes me that what you are trying to do is overkill to achieve your goals of introducing *nix and OSS tool-chain. Is there any reason you wouldn't just run a server (cloud VM or similar) and give your students access via SSH (then you teach them that critical step too). And if you want
