Hy again, okay so now we have an easy way out just in case. But I still want to build an DLL and/or a shared library for integration into the tool. I want the tool to be platform independent and I was already able to build qemu-img as cross build with mingw64. Does anybody have experience in building a qemu library or tried it already? The tool I want to integrate qemu in is published under GPL itself. And if I am able to build qemu as library I will share it with the community and everybody interested in having it.

That way qemu-devel@nongnu.org will receive our replies and the discussion will stay on the mailing list. Thanks! It's common for applications to consist of more than a single executable file. They could have shared libraries, data files, or other executables like qemu-img.exe. You can distribute qemu-img.exe together with your application as part of a zip file or installer. Regardless of whether you ship qemu-img.exe or build a library, please check QEMU's software license so that you can follow the terms of the GPL open source license. Stefan
