    I tried to run umlwin32 on win2000 but the files mentioned in to Howto instructions don't seem to be the same as the release file names especially linux-2.14.18.tar.gz "uml patch" and "umlwin32 patch". 

    I extracted all the bz2 files into the same directory along with the int80 binary and it seems to work asking to access the Internet from myZoneAlarm software 4 time then it freezes after displaying the line "Mounted procfs on /proc".

    It looks like a nice project any help will be appreciated

    Thks,

    Ralph

      Hi Ralph,

      Its nice to know that you are interested in compiling and using umlwin32.

      I guess ever since the umlwin32 ck05 was released, the kernel as become old and the hence you are unable to find the right files.

      Here is what you need to do:
      Download linux kernel from here:
      http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/linux-2.4.18.tar.bz2

      Download uml-20 patch from here:
      http://toad.net/~chandan/umlwin32/downloads/uml-patch-2.4.18-20.bz2
      This is referred to as <path to uml patch> in the howto page.

      Download the latest umlwin32 patch from sf.net download site:
      http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/umlwin32/umlwin32-2.4.18-um20-ck05.diff.bz2?download
      This is referred to as <path to umlwin32 patch>

      Now you should be able to follow the instructions on the 'howto build umlwin32' page: http://umlwin32.sourceforge.net/howto.html

      Note: If you downloaded any other version of uml-patch (the ones available on the uml website) then you will run into problems like hanging after /proc etc.

      Please let me know if you run into problems.

      Hi there.. I started today with compiling umlwin32 on W2000. Everything successed without the "make linux ARCH=um"

      Output:
      ...(7 lines)
      from /usr/include/unistd.h:4,
      from arch/um/main.c:6:
      /usr/include/machine/ieeefp.h:247:2: #error Endianess not declared!!
      make: *** [arch/um/main.o] Error 1

      What can I do?  I've coppied al the files you mentioned above in the /usr/src directory, the patches succeeded.

      Thanks for help,

      Chris

      just edit ieeefp.h in /usr/include/machine
      it should only contain one line ie

      #define __IEEE_LITTLE_ENDIAN

      this worked for me

      R.
