[Spice-devel] Questions regarding QXL drivers and Spice

Sat Jun 18 21:19:25 PDT 2011

I've just tried to build the drivers using the instructions given at:

http://spice-space.org/page/WinQXL

There are some contradictory instructions there, so it could be my setup.
I've installed the winddk, and set the SPICE_COMMON_DIR to
c:\common\spice-protocol and also tried c:\common (with file not found
errors in that case).

Results:
C:\common\qxl>build -cZg
