-Although our development environment is primarily geared to Linux, it
-is possible to develop and test on Windows, using Cygwin. To do so,
-do the following, adapting it to your local environment.
-
-To develop on windows, you will install:
-
-- a specific version of binutils (targetting i386-elf)
-- a specific version of gcc (targetting i386-elf)
-- a specific version of nasm, patched for VT and SVM instructions
-- the as86, bcc, and ld86 tools from Dev86 (these are needed to build
-the bioses and other vm boot package components)
-
-
-To start, install cygwin (see cygwin.org). We have done a complete
-installation ("all" -> "install") in our environment, and would
-recommend it.
-
-Run a bash shell.
-
-Check out vmm-dev from CVS, or unpack a copy from a tarball.
-In the following, we assume /home/pdinda/Codes/vmm-dev
-is the checked-out directory
-
-export DEVROOT=/home/pdinda/Codes/vmm-dev
-mkdir $DEVROOT/devtools
-export LOCATION=$DEVROOT/devtools
-
-Now build and install binutils into $LOCATION:
-
-cd $DEVROOT/utils
-tar xfz binutils-2.16.91.0.7.tar.gz
-cd binutils-2.16.91.0.7
-./configure --prefix=$LOCATION/i386 --target=i386-elf --disable-nls
-make -j 4 all
-make install
-
-Now build and install gcc:
-
-cd $DEVROOT/utils
-tar xfz gcc-3.4.6.tar.gz
-export PATH=$LOCATION/i386/bin:$PATH
-cd gcc-3.4.6
-./configure --prefix=$LOCATION/i386 --target=i386-elf --disable-nls --enable-languages=c,c++ --without-headers
-make -j 4 all-gcc
-make install-gcc
-
-Now build and install the patched nasm:
-
-cd $DEVROOT/utils
-tar xfz nasm-0.98.39.tar.gz
-cd nasm-0.98.39
-patch < ../vmx.patch
-patch < ../nasm-install.patch
-./configure --prefix=$LOCATION
-make
-make install
-
-install bcc and other components of dev86:
-
-cd $DEVROOT/utils
-tar xvf Dev86src-0.16.17.tar.gz
-cd dev86-0.16.17
-make as86 ld86 bcc86
-make -C cpp
-cp as/as86.exe bcc/bcc.exe bcc/bcc-cc1.exe cpp/bcc-cpp.exe ld/ld86.exe $LOCATION/bin
-
-Now test:
-
-cd $DEVROOT/vmm-hack1/build
-export PATH=$PATH:$LOCATION/bin
-
-make world
-
-This should succeed, leaving you with a vmm.img file.
