Hi,

I successfully built VirtualBox 1.6.2 OSE on Windows XP 32 bit when I followed the build instructions http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Windows% ... structions However when I tried to run those binaries on 64 bit platform, I get runtime errors.

This made me try building the VirtualBox on a 64bit platform. However, for this, I had to change configure.vbs a bit so that binaries from "kBuild\bin\win.amd64" had to be considered.

Later on i got an error when kmk failed to create a processess "yasm.exe" This got resolved when i added "tools\win.amd64\bin" into path variable.

But now a am stuck with following error,

process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-g++.exe -c -g -O2 -n

Did anyone come across such error? What other settings do I need to do to get the VirtualBox built on 64bit platform?

Thanks in advance

From what I can tell there is no current working 64bit version of mingw that will compile virtualbox (or fully working 64bit version of mingw period).

I would have to assume that the 64bit windows versions that are produced are a resultset from a cross compiler probably on a linux system.

I might setup a linux box tonight and give that a try but I haven't had time as of yet.

Thanks for the reply Dest.

I downloaded 64bit MinGW from http://www.esnips.com/web/MinGW64 and went ahead with compilation after making few changes in couple of makefiles.

However, I am stuck at the place where the compilation fails saying

Any idea what this error means and how to get rid of this?

Also did you get a chance to build it at your end using cross compiler?

No.... i did some more reading and it looks like the devs use a windows system with a set of g++bintools built for cross compiling..
