[Qemu-devel] Errors compiling QEMU with Mingw

[Dean Payne]

Hi,

I have tried to compile QEMU for windows from the latest CVS using the
latest MingW and various tools. I basically followed the instructions
outlined for compiling QEMU from
http://www.h7.dion.ne.jp/~qemu-win/PortingTips-en.html. Although I can
compile the source as given there, I have no luck with the latest from CVS.

The first error I got was
------------
In file included from C:/dev/Dev-Cpp/include/windef.h:246,
                 from C:/dev/Dev-Cpp/include/windows.h:48,
                 from d:/sourceforge/qemu/vl.c:60:
C:/dev/Dev-Cpp/include/winnt.h:97: parse error before numeric constant
------------

I chased it down and it appears that the file

qemu\target-ppc\cpu.h

has a define on line 346 :

#define LP     SPR_ENCODE(1022)

which conflicts with the typedef in winnt.h:

typedef TCHAR *LPTCH,*PTSTR,*LPTSTR,*LP,*PTCHAR;

Without knowing too much about the source I changed the #define LP to a
different symbol (hoping that it was not used elsewhere) but encountered
another error:

make[1]: *** [qemu-system-ppc.exe] Error 1

--------------------------

I am not sure whether that is due to me or simply something else. Am I going
about this the right way and can anyone offer some tips?

Cheers
