AMD64
This page describes the current status of the AMD64 port of ReactOS. AMD64 refers to AMD's specifications for a 64-bit extension to the x86 instruction set. It is also known as x64, x86-64 or x86_64 and it is not limited to AMD processors.
The ros-amd64-bringup branch was created on r34699 by Timo Kreuzer. The code is now fully integrated into master.
Status
- The current code base can be compiled for x64 using the 64 bit development command prompt from VS 2015-2022 (see Building ReactOS)
- It can also be compiled with x64 GCC and Clang, but it will probably not boot.
- The main code base (git master) does boot on VirtualBox / KVM. Choose WS2003 x64 as your OS and enable I/O APIC.
- The buildbot based tests complete only after commenting out some tests, this is WIP.
- WoW64 is not implemented yet, so you cannot use 32-bit programs.
Completion Status (rough estimates)
completion | comment | |
---|---|---|
freeldr | 100% | |
hal | 99% | Mostly completed, might need some bugfixing here and there. |
ntoskrnl/ke | 99% | Mostly completed, might need some bugfixing here and there. |
ntoskrnl/mm | 95% | Mostly completed, some limitations might exist. |
rtl | 95% | exception handling and unwinding is still slightly buggy. |
crt | 99% | Mostly completed, might need some bugfixing here and there. |
Building port
Last updated: 2022/09/04
Currently it's only possible to build ReactOS x86-64 on Windows. Note that MYUSER
is a placeholder for your username.
Prerequisites are:
- MSVC (Visual C++) and Cmake tools for Windows (easiest through Visual Studio component install)
- RosBE for Windows with
add BIN folder to PATH variable
active - Some form of git to clone the repository
Ⅰ. Clone the ReactOS code to the RosBE source directory.
You are at C:\Users\MYUSER
and the command is:
git clone https://github.com/reactos/reactos/ -b amd64/test_test
Ⅱ. Set these two environment variables (source)
- M4 with value
C:\RosBE\bin\m4.exe
- BISON_PKGDATADIR with value
C:\RosBE\share\bison
Ⅲ. Open x64 Native Tools Command Prompt
and configure the build.
The commands for configuring are:
cd \Users\MYUSER\reactos configure.cmd
Ⅳ. Lastly navigate to the newly created folder of your configuration and start the build
The commands for this are:
cd output-VS-amd64 ninja livecd
If livecd
is replaced with bootcd
in the last command, an installable medium will be built instead
The output file is usually ~80mb in size
