The "solution" to that would presumably be to put everything into a library, and the executable merely becomes trivial main() that calls a "runme" function in the library. It is kind of ugly though as we would need a separate library for each system emulator executable. Just ignoring modules on Windows looks like the prudent solution. > > Signed-off-by: Marc-André Lureau <marcandre.lur...@redhat.com> > --- > configure | 7 ++++++- > 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) Reviewed-by: Daniel P.
