3.11-rc3+: can't build from either 4.2.16 or SVN 47735

4.2.16 fails for the readdir -> iterate replacement:

Code: Select all

/share/vbox/VirtualBox-4.2.16/src/VBox/Additions/linux/sharedfolders/dirops.c:292:5: error: unknown field ‘readdir’ specified in initializer
/share/vbox/VirtualBox-4.2.16/src/VBox/Additions/linux/sharedfolders/dirops.c:292:5: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type [enabled by default]
/share/vbox/VirtualBox-4.2.16/src/VBox/Additions/linux/sharedfolders/dirops.c:292:5: warning: (near initialization for ‘sf_dir_fops.flush’) [enabled by default]
SVN (revision 47735, checked out today) appears to have fixed the above, but fails linking tstVBoxDbg and tstUsbMouse:

Code: Select all

The DEVs usually don't do a lot with non-released kernels. Your best bet is to ask them on the DEV mailing list. I can tell you that I build my own custom Debian version against SVN and have no issues even with 3.11, but I have not tested rc3 yet and there could be an issue there AFAIK.

Thanks Perryg...

DEVs appear to actually do quite a lot - since the -rc3 build problem has been fixed in SVN 8)

Anyway, I dug in a bit deeper and there seems to be something weird :?:

The linking of the two programs in SVN fails upon referencing the existing /opt/VirtualBox/VBoxREM.so (which comes from my 4.2.16 existing installation, built under earlier kernels)... but the HWACCMR3CanExecuteGuest symbol doesn't exist anymore in SVN.

That symbol used to be in include/VBox/vmm/hwaccm.h - and that file has been removed from current SVN. Correctly, I'd say, since the symbol isn't referenced anywhere in the SVN sources.

Which likely means I have to first uninstall my existing 4.2.16, and only then try to build from SVN.

If that works, it'll be a new issue - I never uninstalled earlier releases while building before (mostly from tarballs and once from SVN). I'll post back with my findings.

Well that was quick. It was enough to rename /opt/VirtualBox and restart the script I use for building as normal user, then installing as root - and my Win7-64 VM is being brought up.

Definitely a new thing for me. Thanks for chiming in as always !

One thing. If you are rebuilding or compiling again due to a change in file structure, diffs, Etc.. You need to make sure to delete the out folder. This can cause a lot of different issues during compile.
