Dear All.<br>
<br>
I have mailed long ago about integrating VirtualKD (a tool that makes<br>
kernel-mode debugging with VM software ~45x faster) with VirtualBox<br>
source tree. I've got a reply from Achim Hasenmuller mentioning the<br>
pluggable device model and suggesting that I make a patch to the<br>
source tree.<br>
<br>
Recently I've finally found time to make the patch, however, I've got<br>
problems building VirtualBox OSE. It seems that different components<br>
of it require different versions of MinGW (e.g. configure.vbs needs<br>
3.x, while QT4 needs 4.x) and the build instructions on the website<br>
seem to be outdated (VS2005 is referenced, however, the source code<br>
references several intrinsics defined in VS2008).<br>
<br>
Is there an easy way of building a custom version of VBoxDD.dll and<br>
testing it with pre-built VirtualBox?<br>
<br>
If not, would it be possible to get assistance from somebody from the<br>
VirtualBox team to integrate it in a step-by-step manner?<br>
<br></blockquote><div>I strongly recommend you to use ExtPack to do this stuffs. There is a sample extpack in the source tree. it provides the callback to let you plug your device into VM. This will save you time to build the rest of vbox.</div>
