VirtualBox source configure command failing

[haikuty]

Since I'm getting a crash on launch every time I thought I'd grab the source and see if I can fix it or run it under a debugger...
Got src ok, but running

Code: Select all

./configure

fails. But even before it fails it's emitting apparent nonsense:

HaikuView:VirtualBox-4.1.8_OSE tyler$ ./configure
Checking for environment: Determined build machine: darwin.amd64, target machine: darwin.amd64, OK.
Checking for kBuild: found, OK.
Checking for Darwin version: found version 10.7 (SDK: /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk), OK.
Checking for gcc: found version 4.2.1, OK.
Checking for libIDL:
** libIDL-config (variable libIDL-config) not found!
Check /Volumes/HD/VirtualBox-4.1.8_OSE/configure.log for details
Mac1:VirtualBox-4.1.8_OSE tyler$ more configure.log
# Log file generated by

# './configure '
#

***** Checking environment *****
Determined build machine: darwin.amd64, target machine: darwin.amd64 <-- uh, pretty sure it's an intel chip in this machine... i5 in fact.


***** Checking kBuild *****
found


***** Checking Darwin version *****
found version 10.7 (SDK: /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk) <------ first, there is no /Developer; second why not the 10.7sdk? & why not LLVM?


***** Checking gcc *****
found version 4.2.1


***** Checking libIDL *****
** libIDL-config (variable libIDL-config) not found!

seems pretty broken just at the basic build stage. not looking good...

We have a forum "VirtualBox OSE" which is largely for discussing build problems with the source code. There is also a developers mailing list. Either of those would be preferred for discussing this kind of thing.
