VirtualBox on 10.5 Leopard - Lets fix it together!

[Kat]

If the "do not"/verboten symbol bothers you, you can do something like this from your vbox build directory:

Code: Select all

cd out/darwin.x86/release/dist
sed 's/VBoxDrv/VBoxBFE/g' <VBoxDrv.kext/Contents/Info.plist >VirtualBox.app/Contents/Info.plist

This simply copies the meta-information from the VBoxDrv bundle to the VirtualBox bundle and replaces references to VBoxDrv with VBoxBFE.

Since VBoxBFE doesn't do anything useful with no command line arguments, this is merely a cosmetic fix and won't do anything particularly useful. It just makes Leopard happy since it now has an application to reference (it can now figure out that the application is Leopard compatible). You should also probably replace the references to kext/KEXT in the new Info.plist file as well.

Yes, thanks Kat, I got networking before reading your msg,. In fact -natdev2 just brought up the atheros wireless, no fuss. A Hard Disk install of Ubuntu needed a little persuasion to use it.

Couple of cosmetic issues, and yes I read the notice on the box "Work in Progress": while nat is active the screen resolution cannot be changed, ie. not reduced below a maximum window size; and 2. at startup there is always this message:

Code: Select all

2008-02-03 21:36:27.097 VBoxBFE[[pid]:10b] Warning once: This application, or a library it uses, is using NSQuickDrawView, which has been deprecated. Apps should cease use of QuickDraw and move to Quartz.

Anyhow there's another thread here from kseki offering his build to try. More later...

Dear All,

Where is the version number hard-coded in the kmk make system? I am using the 3.4.6 and I would like to change that. It works fine, if I ln -s i386-elf-gcc-3.4.6 i386-elf-gcc-3.4.3, which is an ugly ugly hack!

Many thanks.

Best.

hello folks

i have a problem to compile i386-elf-gcc. the workaround in the bugdatabase, which also is described in the first post of this thread, didn't work for me. why? well it seems that i have another Makefile than you

my path to the makefil is as follows

Code: Select all

/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_cross_i386-elf-gcc/work/build/Makefile

but unfortunately i never see the LIBINTL line int this file


what do i wrong?

thx
