Hi, I had problems with the virtualbox-ose-4.22 port under FreeBSD 10.0-RC5, where VirtualBox would occasionally crash. It looks like the mix of QT C++ libraries compiled with clang, vs. the virtualbox-ose port compiled with g++46 was not a good mix
After reading this post: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-emulation/2013-December/011171.html I obtained Jung-uk Kim's port Makefiles for VirtualBox and I managed to compile a build of VirtualBox 4.3.6 on my system which is not crashing. This is what I did: (1) Delete the virtualbox-ose port from my system: pkg delete virtualbox-ose pkg delete virtualbox-ose-kmod (2) Delete the gsoap port from my system pkg delete gsoap (3) Make sure that a valid FreeBSD src tree exists under /usr/src, otherwise the build will fail. (4) Check out jkim's tree from redports: mkdir -p /tmp/xy cd /tmp/xy svn co https://svn.redports.org/jkim (5) Build and install gsoap from jkim's port (you need to do this because the version of gsoap in the ports tree will result in failed compilation): cd /tmp/xy/jkim/devel/gsoap make make install (6) Build and install virtualbox-ose and virtualbox-ose-kmod ports. cd /tmp/xy/jkim/emulators/virtualbox-ose make make install cd /tmp/xy/jkim/emulators/virtualbox-ose-kmod make make install After doing this, I got a build of VirtualBox that: -> built against clang, does not depend on g++ libraries -> no need to unset QT_PLUGIN_PATH -> works and doesn't crash :) Thank you for doing this Jung-uk, it was quite a lot of work to port VirtualBox to clang! -- Craig _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
