Because of the problems associated with comnpiling various guests on a pure 64 bit host I am attempting to build just the basic VirtualBox-2.2.0-OSE to provide a native 64 bit guest to start then progress guest by guest from there.
I am currently stumped with an error message indicating "configure" cannot find any 32 bit support. Since that is exactly what I am trying to eliminate it would seem I have reached a stalemate.
It does not help that I found this comment in the Makefile, possibly indicating a general philosophy:
# Build the additions, all of them.
#
# This is currently tailored (hardcoded) for the additions
# build box. Can make it pretty and configurable later.
Does anyone have any ideas, perhaps a few simple edits?
