Hi,
since virtualbox is still stuck in the NEW queue, I tried to build it
myself for i386 from the pkg-virtualbox subversion repository with a
tarball repackaged according to the instructions in
debian/README.rebuild and found the following problems (using a sid
pbuilder environment):
* it lacks a Build-Depends: libhal-dev
* somewhere a hard coded yasm path pointing to tools/linux.x86/bin/yasm
is used, i fixed this by creating this directory and a symlink there
to /usr/bin/yasm in debian/rules
* it seems to look for kernel headers in /usr/src/linux
after several tries to use the ones in /usr/include I still got
missing headers and finally gave up.
The configure option --with-linux=... seemed not to work.
The following patch helped a bit: in Config.kmk set
export VBOX_LINUX_SRC := /usr
The buildds probably will fail with the same errors.
Is there a pkg-virtualbox developer mailinglist? Since I couldn't find
one I attach this information to the ITP.
Andreas
