Thread-topic: Booting Windows on Open Source GFW

Hi Tristan:

 

I have been working to get Windows booted on VTi base on your open-sourced Guest FirmWare.  However, I have tried for couple weeks and continued to fail in building the GFW even for Linux guest.

 

I have tried all the experiments I know, and found your GFW actually missing files such as pci_regs.h,xen.h (may lacking more files, I am blocked at missing xen.h file)and it doesnt built per your instruction.

 

Do you think you can provide me a detailed know-how or work with me to get this GFW built?  Once we get over the hurdle, I believe we can definitely get this GFW to boot Windows guest. Thx
