AW: Integration of qemu-img

[janine.schneider]

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.

Best,
Janine

Hi Janine,

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.
