Hi Mr. Olsen,

It did not occur to me to use a virtual machine for testing until now.
Indeed, with a virtual machine you can keep the system clean. But there
is something I could not understand. Did you mean compiling binary in a
virtual machine by saying that "using virtual machine" or something
else?

Thank you for your reply. With regards,
