You need the following packages (downloadable with the MinGW installer program) : The main difference is now that the build is done with MinGW by using the latest version of gcc. Since Qemu-1.0 the build is done with the MinGW compiler (as it doesn't compile anymore with cygwin, even if Cygwin is still used for the shell and other tools: MSYS is not required)
It works on Linux, Windows, FreeBSD and Mac OS X. It does, however, both demonstrate the company's willingness to contribute to the FOSS community and also the sway the Azure team has over Windows 10, even with 20H1 still more than a year away.QEMU is an emulator for various CPUs. Some have speculated on the technology being used to spawn Arm-based Azure data centres running Windows virtual servers on Linux, but this does not appear to be on the roadmap (for now, at any rate). Also, QEMU/KVM as usually tuned to ARMH spec by ARMH architects themselves, which means that something not running under QEMU usually indicates a problem in the OS following the spec, not QEMU." He then donned his engineering hat to add "KVM is an engineering tool for us, for testing the OS and drivers.
Justo told El Reg: "KVM is a huge tool for us and for our partnering ISVs, so we've been investing in making sure Windows 10 on ARM64 works great on Linux/KVM." However, being able to run with KVM enabled will strip out the overhead of emulation on the right hardware.Īs for why Microsoft would do such a thing, the answer is a pointer to the seismic shifts that have happened within the company over the last few years.
The virtio-net driver has continued to misbehave, meaning that KDNET must be configured for networking, and some users have reported issues with audio. Of course, things aren't all gravy just yet.
