¿Where is de guest tools in OSE version?

Post by cesarzea »

Hello:

Its my first time working with open source source code. I am been enable to compile and run the OSE version, but I cant find the guest tools.

I need the guest tools for Windows 2008 64 Bits.... where can I found it?. Is the code open source also?. How can I compile it?.

My host is Ubuntu.

Why do you need the additions for the Guest? The GA are not a requirement to run 64 bit Guests.

By default, the GA are only shipped with the PUEL version.
Read the Forum Posting Guide before opening a topic.
VirtualBox FAQ: Check this before asking questions.
Online User Manual: A must read if you want to know what we're talking about.
Howto: Install Linux Guest Additions
Howto: Use Shared Folders on Linux Guest
See the Tutorials and FAQ section at the top of the Forum for more guides.
Try searching the forums first with Google and add the site filter for this forum.
E.g. install guest additions site:forums.virtualbox.org

Retired from this Forum since OSSO introduction.

The GA are compiled with the OSE just not packaged.

If you do a search on the forums however you will find a thread from someone who packages those for those who use the OSES. You can download the nsis package he wrote to build the installer as well.
