Thanks for the help so far Gertjan.
Yep, I've been going through that, but it seems so out of date that I was worried if it all still applied.
Thanks for the tip. Its odd, it seems the newest version of the poky plugin source has the patch applied to one of the two files, but not the other. I guess I should point that out to them.
I can get QEMU up and running, but not with the command generated by Anjuta. It seems it's an issue with the -net options which try to use TUN/TAP virtual networking to create the connection. I haven't seen anything in the documentation mentioning TUN/TAP packages or making sure to create a tap0 network interface. Do I need to do something like step 3 here,
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=179472, or have I missed something in the documented setup that will fix the issue.
Thanks again for the prompt help
