Hi,

I've found what is missing - I forgot to install the pre-requisite "libSDL-dev" package. After installing with "sudo apt-get install libSDL-dev".

All previous make issues are resolved. Thanks everyone for your help.

I could now proceed to my next stage - basically to build a Genode system with NOVA micro-kernel, running Virtualbox with a Windows 7 VM.

I have managed to make the "vbox_auto_win7.run" script - everything is made successfully and the output is a "vbox_auto_win7.iso" file.

However, when I tried to use the "vbox_auto_win7.iso" file and put it onto a USB thumdrive to run. The result is that after boot-up, it just hang.

The part that I am not sure are the "win7.vdi" and "overlay_win7.vdi" files. How are they linked to the vbox_auto_win7.iso file ?

I have copied them onto the thumbdrive but is this correct ?

I have tried to understand the email exchange on http://sourceforge.net/p/genode/mailman/message/33496592/ discussion between Christian and Adrian.

Does anyone have a blueprint on how I can create a "win7.vdi" using an existing Windows 7 DVD onto a "ext2" partition.

How is this "win7.vdi" file subsequently linked to the "vbox_auto_win7.iso" file .

Can anyone advise.

Thanks in advance.

Regards.

The zlib Debian package (or zlib1g on Ubuntu) is just the binary part,
i.e., the library already linked programs depend on. For building the
rump tools you also need the development package containing the C
header files used on compilation of the sources. On my Ubuntu, the
package is called zlib1g-dev, so you may try

apt-get install zlib-dev or
aptitude install zlib-dev

on your Debian system.
