[vbox-dev] building 2.1.0 on win32 - fixes, and CallNtPowerInformation

[S. Brandt]

Hi!
Again, I can't manage compiling on windows ... I did some small fixes on the
way, yet, I'm still getting stuck somewhere ...
It's CallNtPowerInformation / HostPowerServiceWin::WndProc.


(1) configure.vbs
(a)
function CheckForXml2Sub(strPathXml2)

  if LogFindFile(strPathXml2, "lib/libxml2.lib") then
' is incorrect, needs to be
  if LogFindFile(strPathXml2, "lib/libxml2.lib")<>"" then

(b)
function CheckForXsltSub(strPathXslt)
  str = LogFindFile(strPathXslt, "lib/libxslt.dll")
' looks for the .dll in the lib subdir, while windows always puts it into
bin path
  str = LogFindFile(strPathXslt, "bin/libxslt.dll")

(2) Config.kmk
Several variables are not defined by the configure.vbs at all; this is OK
for me, but, adding some information to the build instructions would really
help.

PATH_SDK_QT4=C:/Programme/Qt/4.4.3
PATH_TOOL_QT4_BIN=$(PATH_SDK_QT4)/bin

PATH_SDK_QT3=C:/Programme/Qt/3.3.3
PATH_TOOL_QT3_BIN=$(PATH_SDK_QT3)/bin

(3) VBox\Additions\WINNT\Installer
This directory is included in the tar.bz2, but does not contain a
Makefile.kmk (b/c the installer is not part of the OSS).
But the WINNT/Makefile.kmk tries to include Installer/Makefile.kmk, because
the directory exists. Please remove/rename either the directory, add a
Makefile.kmk, or change the check in WINNT/Makefile.kmk to check for
Installer/Makefile.kmk, and not the directory.

(4) libxml2, libxslt, and stuff
(a) libxml2 needs iconv.h, and all files that link libxml2 need libiconv.a.
I installed iconv from the libxml binary distribution into mingw5/iconv and
added to Config.kmk:

SDK_VBOX_ICONV =.
SDK_VBOX_ICONV_INCLUDES  := C:/Programme/MinGW5/iconv/include
SDK_VBOX_ICONV_LIBS  := C:/Programme/MinGW5/iconv/lib/iconv_a.lib

and changed src/VBox/Main/Makefile.kmk

VBoxSettings_SDKS       = VBOX_LIBXSLT VBOX_LIBXML2 VBOX_ZLIB VBOX_ICONV

(b) When using LIBXML_STATIC, it is necessary to link against libxml_a.lib,
not libxml.lib.
I changed AutoConfig.kmk:
SDK_VBOX_LIBXML2_LIBS  := C:/Programme/MinGW5/libxml2/lib/libxml2_a.lib
same applies to xslt:
SDK_VBOX_LIBXSLT_LIBS   := C:/Programme/MinGW5/libxslt/lib/libxslt_a.lib

Patches for the changes up to here are attached.

diff -U3 configure.vbs.orig configure.vbs > configure.vbs.patch
diff -U3 Config.kmk.orig Config.kmk > Config.kmk.patch
diff -U3 src/VBox/Main/Makefile.kmk.orig src/VBox/Main/Makefile.kmk >
	src/VBox/Main/Makefile.kmk.patch




Now, the following error is given:

Anyone able to help here?
