Building VirtualBox 5.1 OSE on Windows

Post by zina »

Hi,

I'm trying to build the latest version of VirtualBox (5.1.16) on a windows machine using Qt version 5.6.2. I assume it's possible since I installed VirtualBox for windows and saw it uses Qt 5.6.2.
The problem I'm facing right now is that Qt can only be built using Visual Studio 2013/5 and VirtualBox can only be built using Visual Studio 2010/2012.
To be sure I tried building Qt using VS2015 and VirtualBox using VS2010 but it eventually failed due to a linker mismatch:
qtmain.lib(qtmain_win.obj) : error LNK2038: mismatch detected for '_MSC_VER': value '1900' doesn't match value '1600' in main.obj
Creating library C:/HysolateBox/HysolateBox/out/win.amd64/release/obj/VirtualBox/VirtualBox.lib and object C:/HysolateBox/HysolateBox/out/win.amd64/release/obj/VirtualBox/VirtualBox.exp
Is there something I'm missing?
