Virtualbox OSE binary packages (32&64-bit Windows version)
I've built the lastest the VirtualBox OSE source code and released the binary packages/installers (32-bit & 64-bit Windows version) on googlecode site (http://code.google.com/p/vbox-ose/downloads/list).
Please just follow the VirtualBox official installation guide to install them.

What is the difference to the "official" builds which are released under the terms of the GPL version 2?

celestialwy ... thank you for building the binaries. Are you open to publishing the 64-bit build instructions? I have not found any reference for that ...

Re: Virtualbox OSE binary packages (32&64-bit Windows version)
According to the Licensing FAQ of VirtualBox, there MAY be only one difference between my built binaries and official binaries, i.e., you can redistribute my binaries while cannot redistribute that of VirtualBox.Martin wrote:What is the difference to the "official" builds which are released under the terms of the GPL version 2?

That restriction about re-distribution applies only to the extension pack which is shipped under the PUEL license. The normal binaries are GPL and therefore are allowed to redistribute.

Re: Virtualbox OSE binary packages (32&64-bit Windows version)
There are some other differences between my built binaries and the official VirtualBox build.
1. Mine includes all the testcase programs
2. Mine is compiled with Visual C++ 2010
3. Mine is built with the latest QT library (4.7.3)

Re: Virtualbox OSE binary packages (32&64-bit Windows version)
It is very nice indeed that community members tried to package this extremely complex of software.
1. I tried it by starting "VirtualBox.exe". No go.
Fresh Win XP complains about "MSVCRT100.dll". Setup should work out-of-the-box on fresh XP systems.
2. Please package latest 4.1.0_BETA1
3. Not found any installer.
How about kernel modules ? Setup should install them somehow.
4. Guest Additions Setup needed. I see some random DLLs around.

1. Please install Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package before running VirtualBox. The download links are listed as follows:Technologov wrote:It is very nice indeed that community members tried to package this extremely complex of software.

x86: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/de ... px?id=8328
x64: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/de ... x?id=13523
2. The latest 4.1.0_BETA1 binary package has been uploaded to http://code.google.com/p/vbox-ose/downloads/list
3. The kernel modules included in the binary package should be installed via inf files. For example, to install VBoxDrv.sys, you should just right click VBoxDrv.inf, and execute "Install" command. After that, you can execute "net start VBoxDrv" to start this kernel module.
Please NOTE that, to install kernel modules on x64 Windows, you should disable force driver signing while booting Windows.
4. I'm working on Guest Additions Setup. It'll be completed soon.

OK, nice. But users _really_ need installer.
Thanks for your efforts, but the complexity of manual install is prohibitive.

Re: Virtualbox OSE binary packages (32&64-bit Windows version)
Can you post the instructions for building the packages?
I have looked through other threads and managed to get most of VBox compiled in VS2010 (except compiling qt). However, the final built package gets too many runtime errors (maybe because of some 32/64 confusion or qt).
Thanks.

Repl: Virtualbox OSE binary packages (32&64-bit Windows vers
Please provide the build instructions or at least how you created the IDE. I didn't find any information on the project as there is no wiki pages. I often run into build issues because i don't know about all of the dependencies or include files. I'd like to try to compile it myself.

Re: Virtualbox OSE binary packages (32&64-bit Windows version)
This exhaustive thread on compiling for 32-bit using VS2010 is useful for 64-bit too:
http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=32703
For other tools beyond VirtualBox, it was mostly simple compile for latest versions of other tools:
Download qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.3
Install Visual Studio Qt Addin (v1.1.9)
add -platform win32-msvc2010 to the qt configure. (win32-msvc2010 is also for 64bit)
Download curl-7.21.7
Change MACHINE in curl-7.21.7/lib/Makefile.vc10 from X86 to X64.
Use the VS2010 Win64 command prompt for 64-bit compile.
