I'm not so optimistic about that, see the build instructions: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux%20build%20instructions Required tools include * *as86* (real mode assembler, usually part of the /dev86/ or /bin86/ package) * *bcc* (Bruce Evans C Compiler; often part of the /dev86/ package) Are those available for (or easily portable to) Solaris x86? QEMU - on the other hand - is happy with gcc and binutils alone, which are widely available for almost any platform. > >The code is written in C++ (most liely g++ :-() and >I cannot see a real source being available for download yet. > >If the C++ code has been written nicely and if there is no dependency >to a specific compiler and to a C++ ABI, someone would need to get a >source first and then check where the dependencies to the Host OS are. > > Unfortunately does it appear to depend on Bruce Evans C Compiler.
