How to compile and run xv6 on windows?

How to compile and run xv6 on Windows?

In our course we are taught xv6 . We are currently using our school's Linux server login using putty in windows.

Here we make changes to the xv6 source (using vim), then compile and run it in qemu simply

make clean make make qemu-nox

It is not always possible to connect to your servers, so I want to be able to compile and run xv6 with windows (obviously in some kind of emulator).

What emulator can I use to work on a similar view? (edit code, compile and run) and how?

You should be able to create an xv6 system using cygwin from www.cygwin.org; make sure you have installed gcc, make and a decent editor (emacs or vim or just use a regular window editor like notepad ++). After that, you can run the resulting image with one of the qemu ports for windows; I found Qemu Manager quite easy to use (http://www.davereyn.co.uk/download.htm). You will need to modify the Makefile to point to the correct qemu location.
