It fails as the OSE version doesn't include the installer stuff. The check for OSE seems not to exclude the installer in the makefiles, so you have to comment it out yourself. Can't remember exactly in which .kmk it is, but it should be easy enough to find.

Dear Hennes,

So my problem is
"kmk: *** No rule to make target `F:/VirtualBox-2.1.0/src/VBox/Additions/WINNT/Installer/Makefile.kmk'. Stop."

so, about Qt errors
"Couldn't find the Qt3 headers and libaries..."
i just ignored. So, this error would not effect my compilation?

Now, what i needs to do is to disable installer in the makefiles. I shall try it, then i shall inform u later after solve this problem. TQ.

I believe the requierements in the build how-to are not correct anymore. QT is not listed at all, but it seems neccessary - at least if you want a GUI.
Apparently qt3 seems sufficient, you will get several warnings and errors about the missing qt4 but they can be ignored (kmk -i).
If you want to build qt4 be warned: It took me hours to do so (not complicated, but it is very very big) and so far I didn't figure how to make OSE cooperating with it.

One quick way to fix this is to create an empty text file called Makefile.kmk at F:/VirtualBox-2.1.0/src/VBox/Additions/WINNT/Installer/
