Problems compiling VirtualBox Frontend

[sama]

I have installed both qt3 and qt4 on my Mac OSX 10.5 (Leopard) system.

I am able to compile most of VirtualBox and it always completes with no errors; However, I have noticed that the VirtualBox frontend was not compiled.

When I try to compile it I get errors about missing header files.

For example, VBoxVMSettingsUtil.h

I do see a VBoxVMSettingsUtil.ui.h

Is there a trick to get the VirtualBox Frontend to compile?

The Qt4 GUI is work in progress and not all new files are ready for the public svn. Thats way this frontend isn't build by default. Please be patient, this files will be added to the public svn in the near future.

Hi,

unfortunately it is not possible to install Qt 3.3.8 on Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.4
anymore. Only Qt4 can be installed. I would like to use the open source Version with the GUI frontend. but now it is not possible.
Is there any possibility to compile Virtual Box with GUI Frontend using Qt4 ?

Yes, you just have to activate building the Qt4-GUI in the configure script (SVN) at line 1882.

Thank you.
Now it works perfectly, except the missing Icon in the dock
