How do I build FXMEMMAP.VXD, FXPTL.SYS, INSTDRV.EXE, etc.?

[camthesaxman]

The "Installing Guest Wrappers" section of the README mentions a few driver files (.VXD and .SYS). However, the build system does not build those, only the .dll wrappers. How do I build or otherwise obtain those missing files?

However, the build system does not build those, only the .dll wrappers.

No, the DLL wrappers build does include everything. Check out the full build log below, especially the last 3 lines.

Look if you show "all files" in folder options if you run compilation from windows.

Hi, @kjliew!

Appreciating for the great job!

I have successfully built QEMU-7.2.6 with your patch from source code.

But, when building guest wrapper in WSL2 Ubuntu 22.04 version, I got the following errors

What is the best compiling environment, what about native Ubuntu 22.04, not WSL2?

[kjliew]

I built the wrappers on Windows 11 native with MSYS2/mingw-w64-i686 toolchain that provides the latest GCC. Anyway, I will take a look at the syntax error to enable Ubuntu/Debian cross-build.

That sounds great! Just waiting for your new patch.
