[Qemu-devel] Monitor for Win32 in current source tree?

[Qemu-devel] Monitor for Win32 in current source tree?

[John Poplett]

Hi, all

I downloaded yesterday's snapshot and built it with the mingw tools on 
Windows XP. QEMU runs okay but I no longer get the monitor that was present 
in 0.6.0. I see that new virtual console support was added and that a 
virtual console is the default console device for the monitor. The docs 
suggest that virtual consoles don't work for Win32, which would explain why 
I no longer have a monitor.

Is there a way to get the monitor to work for Win32 with the current 
snapshot? My goal is to get Slackware 10 running in QEMU but Slackware 10 
routinely crashes QEMU 0.6.0 at some point during the installation; hence, 
my interest in the current snapshot.

Thanks,

John

The qemu monitor is avaible by hitting ctrl-shift-f2, this works on win32
too. To go back to the normal display hit ctrl-shift-f1, there is the
serial console accessible by ctrl-shift-f3.

Hi,

you can specify "-monitor stdio" to get the old behaviour.

I compiled with CONFIG_SDL_GENERIC_KDB defined in config-host.h and now 
ctrl-shift-f1 / f2 work. I am back to the business of getting Slackware 10 
to install.

Thanks for the tips and encouragement.

Regards,

John

Hi, all

Thanks for the replies. I had tried both suggestions: ctrl-shift-f1 / f2 
and -monitor stdio. For some reason, they don't work for my build from a 
recent snapshot (is two days old maybe). Perhaps, I mis-configured the build 
in some way. I'll dig into it but let me know if there is something else I 
might have overlooked.

Thanks,

John
