Hi, I tried to test QEMU on Win2k, but there are run time errors because of missing {get,free}{addr,name}info() functions. After adding dummy defines in place, there are no more errors. I found a similar case, where a compatibility patch was proposed: http://trac.filezilla-project.org/ticket/1532 The patch is a bit heavy, consisting of run time detection of Win2k and full replacements for the functions. Are there any alternative solutions? I'm by no means a Windows expert.
Win2k is EOL so I don't think it's useful for us to support it as a host. So any type of patch is just going to add additional complexity for very little real gain.
