I saw your post and followed it, but as you saw, it wasn't working. Steps are missing or not documented for someone who's building it for the first time.
Also, I cannot edit or post there, so I will do my own post regardless.

What are you doing in root?

Trying to make this work without having to worry about any permissions issues and not being frustrated of forgetting sudo every 3 commands.

Well not a good idea from any concept, but I have seen it cause a lot of other issues. sudo isn't even needed until you get to make install. Open another terminal to install from and use sudo -i to keep elevated while the terminal is active. The build environment should be a normal user as well and not on root. You can create a build directory and chown it or create one in your user space.

Ok, I'm gonna try with a regular user then. Time for another build...

No improvement. The SVN was checked out and the build were both done under the user without using sudo or root.
Both files are found but still not recognized.

So do the builds complete without errors and installed?
Is this the issue that you were trying to determine if it worked or not?

Re: Build Virtualbox from source

Posted: 25. Nov 2012, 02:34
by noteirak
The build complete yes, everything is there and I can use the different front-ends.

This issue is not the one, it is after.
For this one, it only happens when the xpcom .so lib is not found or not in the path, which it is in this case, you can see in the strace log.
But possible some other .so or vbox files are required, and not found. The executables are not copied into /usr/lib/virtualbox, which normaly are. But everything else is the same.

I am currently doing a hardened build, maybe more luck...

Re: Build Virtualbox from source

Posted: 25. Nov 2012, 02:42

It should be hardened and installed. If you don't specify the following in LocalConfig.kmk your build will be installed in /opt

Code: Select all

# required for VBOX_WITH_RUNPATH
VBOX_WITH_ORIGIN           :=

VBOX_DOCBOOK_WITH_LATEX    := 1
KBUILD_MSG_STYLE           := brief
VBOX_PATH_APP_PRIVATE_ARCH := /usr/lib/virtualbox
VBOX_PATH_SHARED_LIBS      := $(VBOX_PATH_APP_PRIVATE_ARCH)
VBOX_WITH_RUNPATH          := $(VBOX_PATH_APP_PRIVATE_ARCH)
VBOX_PATH_APP_PRIVATE      := /usr/share/virtualbox
VBOX_PATH_APP_DOCS          = $(VBOX_PATH_PACKAGE_DOCS)

Thank you, I've added these already, looking at the master build instructions.
At the moment, it is building, I will let you know if there is improvement as soon as it's done & installed, not too long from now.

Yes and is listed in the build instructions I sent you. You could have cp/pasted in a terminal and then added the two extra I told you about.

Re: Build Virtualbox from source

I already did that... I've tried your instructions and copied/paste everything, one line at the time when the step was finished but it never worked, and this is the further I got.
I am trying to put back together the missing steps here. So which lib should I get for SOAP? and do I have to rebuild the whole after?

Re: Build Virtualbox from source

gsoap

You should have selected all of the packages at once. I use that to install from all the time and created the list to do just that. No cr, just wrapped text.
All times are UTC+02:00
