Re: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/4] Implements the Windows Hypervisor Platform accelerator

[Justin Terry (VM)]

Hey Stefan,

Again thanks for the feedback. The short answer is that it will be first 
available on an Windows 10 Insider Preview release: 
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windowsinsiderpreviewSDK. I 
just don’t know which one exactly. When this is released I will for sure update 
the community that it is now available for building and testing.

When you say "enhancing the build instructions for QEMU" do you mean having an 
entry on the wiki describing cross compiling on Windows? I would be happy to 
add to that wiki page describing what we do now. Could you give me a pointer on 
where you keep the wiki code so I can add the descriptions there?

Thanks,
Justin
