[coLinux-users] x86-64 Kernel on 64-bit Windows (mostly XP x64)

[Gordan B. <go...@bo...>]

Hi,

Is there a 64-bit kernel binary available for coLinux? I want to run my 
64-bit install from Windows, but would prefer to avoid building my own 
kernel to begin with.

If binary isn't available, is there a special procedure for building 
on/for 64-bit Windows? What compiler versions are known to work?

Thanks.

Gordan

no.  please see the wiki ... the port isnt finished yet.

nice piece of info.
was wondering on this since i saw both the wiki & some other remarks 
claiming that 64 bit colinux won't happen.

i'm more curious whether the 64 bit driver will use a 64 bit linux 
kernel? or 32 bit linux kernel? or both?
i've got some existing 32 bit colinux images & hope to be able to use 
them in 64 bit windows.

thanks & best regards,

KarHeng

it isnt a matter of "wont" but "when".  the work needs people to
contribute code/testing/etc...

32bit userland works fine with 64bit kernels.  so i dont think doing
32bit kernels on a 64bit os makes much sense in practice.

totally understand. :) am from programming background too.
but lack the expertise at hacking kernels.

hence went about contributing small bits of articles on this & promoting 
it to more friends instead.

good to hear this wonderful project is still moving otherwise!
