Is this a bad idea for some reason, or is it just unnecessary? Some feedback would be appreciated. Cheers, Tim Tim Walker wrote: How difficult would it be to create a (presumably Linux) uniform build environment for all targets as a bootable Qemu image?

you would probably need to setup cross compilers at least, find a global linux config file generic enough (ex: no framebuffer), and at least a initrd with minimum bins (static busybox would be best). This also implies you've a lot of time free :) if you want to do it for many

BTW, one problem with WIndows is that QEMU developers do not have access to Windows licenses. Might be nice for non-programmers who want to contribute to donate old licensed copies of Windows for testing work. untrue. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/evaluation/trial/default.mspx

Thanks for the replies. I thought the Live CD was a bad idea until I realised it can still be booted under QEMU for non x86 users (Live CDs can be created for other platforms - have to pick one otherwise it'd be a nightmare). The tradeoff would be speed for x86 users vs ease of image
