Build VirtualBox on Windows 8

Post by Aries »

Will VirtualBox OSE build on Windows 8? Has anyone made a successful attempt building it even though Windows 8 is not specified in the OS prerequisites?

The host Windows version shouldn't matter. What matters is what version of whatever devtools you're using, and the versions of various libraries.

And I assume you're aware that VBox is available for Win8.x as a readymade executable.
