<p class=MsoPlainText>Hi Michael,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Thanks a lot for your advice.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Can you double check if the following is what I need to do?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>1. on A 32-bit Windows XP, download a Fedora 12 image and
install it into a Virtual Box.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>2. find out and download glinc-devel packages in the
Fedora 12.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText> Not sure which package I should download for either x86_64
or i686. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText> Can you advise which version I should download?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText> 1. glibc-devel-2.11.1-4.x86_64.rpm -- for Fedora
12 updates for x86_64,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText> 2. glibc-devel-2.11.1-6.x86_64.rpm -- for Fedora
12 testing updates for x86_64,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText> 3. glibc-devel-2.11.1-4.i686.rpm -- for Fedora
12 updates for x86_64, or<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText> 4. glibc-devel-2.11.1-6.i686.rpm -- for Fedora
12 testing updates for x86_64<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>3. download and install the latest MinGW development
environment.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText> There is an x64 version MinGW for download, but based on
your suggestion, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText> I should download 32-bit MinGW. Does this mean we will
build a 32-bit version of VB for x64 Windows?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText> Can you tell the reason? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>4. install MinGW development environment in terms of the
prerequisites of <a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/install">http://gcc.gnu.org/install</a>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText> Should I install it on a 32-bit Windows XP or an x64
Windows 7?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Thanks a lot,<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText>As far as I can tell, you'll need to build it yourself;
you need to<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>install a MinGW development environment anyway, and then
you can use<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>it to build a recent gcc cross-compiler targeting<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Doing this properly will also require you to build a
sysroot that has<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>a version of glibc installed in it; the easiest way to
get one of<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>those is to take the glibc-devel packages from Fedora or
Debian or<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>whatnot and extract them into the directory you set as
--with-sysroot.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>http://gcc.gnu.org/install/ will also discuss the
prerequisites.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>You'll still need the 32-bit MinGW to build VirtualBox;
both are<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>needed at different points in the install.<o:p></o:p></p>
