Dear all, since I want a site-based free license for educational purposes I decided to try VirtualBox OSE 1.6.4. Further, the PUEL version 1.6.4 had a problem with clonevdi that I intent to invesitgate further (with a debug version). My problem is that after unpacking and configuring the software from the bzipped tarball is that compilation breaks down in the src/apps directory. I have seen a few other postings on this problem and it is missing Makefiles in src/apps directory. Unfortunately, the patch indicated by http://vbox.innotek.de/pipermail/vbox-users/2008-August/003707.html does not work, so I got the current development trunk from the svn repository and checked it out. From there I copied the Makefile.kmk to the tarball source. Further, I made symbolic links to "Config.kmk" and the directory "out" in the src/apps (ugly hack), since the make process was missing them when it had entered the src/apps directory. It seems to be working, since I got the tool through the compilation. I have not completed the kernel modules, so I do not know yet if it works, I only assume it will. My question is: how do I avoid the symbolic links? I assume there is a difference between the makefiles in the svn repository and the tarball and if anyone have a solution, please tell me.
BTW, I have googled this problem and tried to look through the vbox-dev archive for clues, but I could not find a search function for the vbox-dev archive 8-(. /Jonas Mellin -- Carpe Diem! === Jonas Mellin, Assistant Professor in Computer Science School of Humanities and Informatics, Building E-2 University of Skövde, P.O.
