Hi Nikolay, Thanks for the clarification. It's much easier without sticking to the old gcc version. Yes, I noticed that VBoxRem2.rel is an ELF image. Can you explain how this file is built? I assume it's done on Linux. Do you use mingw toolchain on linux to do the cross compile? Since it's ELF image, perhaps it's built from pure linux gcc (w/o cross compile to windows)? I am trying to eliminate VBoxREM2.rel on windows using MingW64, in other words, combining the current VBoxREM.dll + VBoxREM2.rel ==> VBoxREM.dll Thanks, Huihong

To: "Huihong Luo" <[email protected]> Cc: "VirtualBox developer's list" <[email protected]> Date: Tuesday, July 14, 2009, 2:24 AM Hi Huihong, Recompiler should build OK with recent gcc. Gcc 3 limitation was applicable to 'old' recompiler, not relying on TCG for codegeneration. Windows 64-bit REM is built to ELF image, not PE, thus MinGW shall be of little help to you. Thanks, Nikolay.
