[WorksForMe] Guest additions on CentOS 8

Post by JochenW »

Hi,

I am fully aware, that this is bleeding edge stuff (on more than one end), and that I have to expect this. But, reporting hurts noone, does it?

Thanks,

Jochen

Code: Select all

[jwi@centos8 VBox_GAs_6.1.0]$ cat /var/log/vboxadd-setup.log
Building the main Guest Additions 6.1.0_BETA1 module for kernel 4.18.0-80.7.1.el8_0.x86_64.
Error building the module.  Build output follows.
make V=1 CONFIG_MODULE_SIG= -C /lib/modules/4.18.0-80.7.1.el8_0.x86_64/build M=/tmp/vbox.0 SRCROOT=/tmp/vbox.0 -j1 modules
Makefile:958: *** "Cannot generate ORC metadata for CONFIG_UNWINDER_ORC=y, please install libelf-dev, libelf-devel or elfutils-libelf-devel".  Stop.
make: *** [/tmp/vbox.0/Makefile-footer.gmk:111: vboxguest] Error 2

Okay, sorry for the noise. Reading helps. Indeed, installing elfutils-libelf-devel *did* help.
