I'm late to the thread, but I'll chime in here: I don't think qemu has ever successfully built on native cygwin. There have already been cleanup patches to the list in the meantime to rip out the (stunted) configure support for using cygwin as the host to do a cross-compilation to mingw, which as long as it was present meant that no one could even attempt a native cygwin build (at least not without jumping through some big hoops). I have a soft spot for Cygwin (after all, I still maintain several packages for that platform), but not enough time to even attempt a qemu build (to see what breaks), nor enough resources to contribute a Cygwin CI machine to the build-bots, so I have no heartbreak that Cygwin is (currently) in the list of unsupported platforms. If someone (maybe me) ever cares enough to get qemu building on Cygwin, we can always amend the list of supported platforms at that date. --=20 Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org --h5xrHS3nVWGfmePm7AISmbgIx3EAkpG57 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 Comment: Public key at http://people.redhat.com/eblake/eblake.gpg Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJY0WnoAAoJEKeha0olJ0Nqt7MH/js/1DOsNccSJ31aWgR77BTa 0OptDW1Gq8sIlZ1askbelBSzrmrlC9AlYMw83VjYJiAVB4B8Fo3dqdexvPymoooO 3DcrUZDhBmHVv/nmA9TzAzgCtOO8oKDy1pPJ5fNfYk6TJ0qlqOUjH0qQg7UkT7f3 T2RgdlDVsbNLeNX8QhZfgDyfilnDupbihLoZhunKoqhqhDyMeJe1CbIU8npy1IPK f7m0sOWw+PZfPKLjcnGuYNHwz+DwGD8n7RhfHbAUYh+k93l3+xtVpGFHvTDLCv+t qiy4dVjFB2Ce/LL8JruhUTHzNhqB7+BcvY4b3bQO+PEJMYDf+CG9e38L9ot1DoM= =eRZO -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --h5xrHS3nVWGfmePm7AISmbgIx3EAkpG57--
