Re: [coLinux-devel] coLinux on NT4?

[Benoit M. <ben...@cg...>]

Hi all

I succeed in running colinux on nt4 sp6a after replacing ExFreePoolWithTag
(in src/colinux/winnt/kernel/lowlevel/alloc.c) with
ExFreePool.
and GlobalMemoryStatusEx (in /src/colinux/os/winnt/user/misc.c) with
GlobalMemoryStatus.
I just still have pb compiling conet-bridged-daemon, ld can't find -lwpcap
I downloaded libpcap-8.xxxx.tar.gz
untared it, configure with --prefix= and --target feeded
make then make install without any pb

any idea???

thx
Ben
