All,

I recently started running the 6.6.12 kernel.  All (well, everything I use)
is working except virtualbox-kernel, which won't compile on that kernel.

Looking on the web, I see the particular problem I'm having has been fixed
in newer versions of virtualbox.  I see that aside from 6.1.55, there is
also 7.0.14.

I emailed the maintainer on Monday, but haven't heard back.  Maybe he's
away, and that's fine, but I was wondering if anyone has been in touch with
him recently.

Anyone?

In current I used VB 6.1.32 for a long time and solved issues due last updates of the kernel using a patch. It works fine, but the recent upgrade of libvpx has required the rebuild of virtualbox driver. This has brought many problems and some day ago I decided to use the slackbuild of Daedra for virtualbox 7.0.12. In Slackware current It works and should also work with VB 7.0.14.

You have to do the following things:

1) if you require the software virtualization install the multilib of AlienBob

2) if you have an installation of Java 11 or earlier, downgrade to Java 8 because the build of VirtualBox needs wsimport (droppend since Java 11). It is required only for the build: next time you can upgrade to earlier version of JDK

The installation of gsoap and acpica from SBo's slackbuilds are fully compatible. This happened in current, I don't know if there are problems with Slackware 15.0
