Re: Build Virtualbox from source
Not sure. I need to fire up my wheezy box and see what happens. I assume you remembered to delete the out folder and that this is an error during the build.
Might take a bit I need to update it since I have not used it in a while.

Re: Build Virtualbox from source
I've deleted the whole thing before-hand actually, just to be sure that I didn't miss a directory.
Waiting for your update then, thank you.

Re: Build Virtualbox from source
In the mean time if you would run the build again and tee the results to a file then post as an attachment here I can look it over to see what is happening (other than python)

Re: Build Virtualbox from source
Mine built just fine. We can go over this tomorrow to see what you are doing/missing. I did see a few things that would make your life easier in your build.txt
Code: Select all
dpkg-deb: building package `virtualbox-4.2' in `//virtualbox-4.2_4.2.51~ose-43953~Debian~wheezy_amd64.deb'.
dh_builddeb: Compatibility levels before 5 are deprecated (level 4 in use)
dpkg-deb: building package `virtualbox-4.2-dbg' in `//virtualbox-4.2-dbg_4.2.51~ose-43953~Debian~wheezy_amd64.deb'.
dh_builddeb: Compatibility levels before 5 are deprecated (level 4 in use)
make[1]: Leaving directory `/VBox-deb/src/VBox/Installer/linux'
debian@LT-debian-wheezy:/VBox-deb/src/VBox/Installer/linux$

I'll be around tomorrow, on the forum & IRC, whichever your prefer.

Re: Build Virtualbox from source
I was able to replicate your issue but have not been able to fix it yet. You can disable the build of webservices and it should complete.
Also add this to your LocalConfig to stop the spam of the frence language that they have removed.

Re: Build Virtualbox from source
Very glad to hear you could replicate it!
I will have to keep the Webservices build on since the Java XPCOM is broken - it is my only option to keep coding against the API for now.

Re: Build Virtualbox from source
That being the case you should build the run instead and of course it will install to /opt, but I run that way and have forever without any issue at all.
I should also say this is not uncommon when they change code. The rpm and deb build installers aren't top on their priority to fix.

Re: Build Virtualbox from source
Yes I'm doing that on the non-deb builder, it works fine and I'm happy with it.
I just really liked the idea of a .deb
Thank you for your much appreciated support.
