CentOS 7 guest additions
Re: CentOS 7 guest additions
Pushing aside all the opinions, does anyone one have any updates for the post on 9 July about the compile error in the main module. Is there any default compiler settings to change? Will I just have to wait for the next release of VBoxAdditions?

Re: CentOS 7 guest additions

Re: CentOS 7 guest additions
My apologies. I'm also running CentOS 7 as I type on 4.3.12. I must have stopped reading at RC1 which I wouldn't use. Sorry to have annoyed you.

Re: CentOS 7 guest additions
I just successfully installed Guest additions for CentOS 7 Guest VM in Virtualbox with 0 problems so I am not sure what the moderators are talking about when suggesting to try RC1 (that package is very buggy at the moment and I recommend against that). I might be able to help out though.
Please report the result of the following:

Re: CentOS 7 guest additions
I'm not sure what you are going to help with. Or why you are bringing up what was recommended just over 2 weeks ago. I was running CentOS 7 with the 4.3.14 RC1 guest additions 16 days ago and didn't find any bugs. The release of 4.3.14 was 10 days ago so RC1 is immaterial now.Inky22 wrote:I just successfully installed Guest additions for CentOS 7 Guest VM in Virtualbox with 0 problems so I am not sure what the moderators are talking about when suggesting to try RC1 (that package is very buggy at the moment and I recommend against that).

I think your calendar is running slow.

Re: CentOS 7 guest additions
I am still running VBox 4.3.12 on Windows 7 host. Still not getting the guest additions to install. Fails on building the main guest module.

Re: CentOS 7 guest additions
you need 4.3.14 to build the modules for CentOS 7. Unfortunately the Windows version has issues. There is a link for a test version 4.3.15 but it may or may not work for you. You may just have to wait for 4.3.16.andrewm659 wrote:I am still running VBox 4.3.12 on Windows 7 host. Still not getting the guest additions to install. Fails on building the main guest module.

Re: CentOS 7 guest additions
Here is the solution...
1. Install VirtualBox version: 4.3.8 & !!!! - do not install "guestadditional 4.3.8" that comes with the installed version -!!!!
2. Next download "VBoxGuestAdditions_4.3.14.iso"
3. mount it and install "VBoxGuestAdditions_4.3.14"
Thats all....

Re: CentOS 7 guest additions
I have VirtualBox 4.3.18 on windows 7 64 bit and CentOS 7 x86_64 But Guest Module won't compile. I've tried to download 4.3.14 Guest Additions with no avail. So Currently Guest Additions Main Module won't compile with Stock CentOS 7 x86_64.
