Hi florian,

The emulator works quite good on my PC.
But I still have small problem with that, pls find below comments.

Yes, it's quite convenient for me to edit the code on my own PC,
then copy it to the virtual PC. But then, when I run the new application, 
I met so many problems because of the environment unset.

One solution is that starting up terminal from the emulator GUI. As the 
environment in the terminal has been set, then we can start up the new
applicatin from the terminal. But the screen is too small. It's very hard 
to see the debugging information.

Another solution : 
We can write another shell script to set the environment. Run it, then 
the new application can be start up directly from the console.

What's your opinion?


Best regards!
