Hi,
I am trying to build VirtualBox on my Win 7- x64 machine < with VS 2010 >. I
have been able to complete the initial steps mentioned at :-
https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=29035&start=0
I am using the 64 bit MS VS command line tool to build the Virtual Box
4.2. However, since long I have been stuck at using the mingw64
tool. VirtualBox config file expects me to specify the "MINGW32" and
"MINGW-w64" paths to the appropriate mingw binaries.
I tried several packages uploaded on sourceforge. But some packages dont have
libmsvcr100.a < needed for VS 2010>
whereas others don't have the \lib64 folder.
To give you a brief idea of the files expected from Ming 64, pasting the files
needed in the mingw64 directory < as specified by the
configure script for your quick reference. >
function CheckForMinGWw64Sub(strPathMinGWw64)
g_strSubOutput = ""
LogPrint "trying: strPathMinGWw64=" &strPathMinGWw64
if LogFileExists(strPathMinGWw64, "bin/gcc.exe") _
And LogFileExists(strPathMinGWw64, "bin/ld.exe") _
And LogFileExists(strPathMinGWw64, "bin/objdump.exe") _
And LogFileExists(strPathMinGWw64, "bin/dllwrap.exe") _
And LogFileExists(strPathMinGWw64, "bin/dlltool.exe") _
And LogFileExists(strPathMinGWw64, "bin/as.exe") _
And LogFileExists(strPathMinGWw64, "include/bfd.h") _
And LogFileExists(strPathMinGWw64, "lib64/libgcc_s.a") _
And LogFileExists(strPathMinGWw64, "x86_64-w64-mingw32/lib/dllcrt1.o") _
And LogFileExists(strPathMinGWw64, "x86_64-w64-mingw32/lib/dllcrt2.o") _
And LogFileExists(strPathMinGWw64, "x86_64-w64-mingw32/lib/libmsvcrt.a") _
And LogFileExists(strPathMinGWw64, "x86_64-w64-mingw32/lib/libmsvcr100.a") _
And LogFileExists(strPathMinGWw64, "x86_64-w64-mingw32/include/_mingw.h") _
And LogFileExists(strPathMinGWw64, "x86_64-w64-mingw32/include/stdint.h") _
And LogFileExists(strPathMinGWw64, "x86_64-w64-mingw32/include/windows.h") _
I tried several mingw64 packages. However, In some packages libmsvcr100.a is
present while lib64\ is absent. For others it is vice versa.
I am planning to create a directory structure as expected by the above config
file <by placing the binaries in the folder the config file expects
them to be>. Another plan is to place the libmsvcr100 lib from one package to
the other one which does not have it.
However, in either case, I am not sure if it will cause any problems later .
Could you point me to an appropriate mechanism to resolve this issue ?
