Virtualbox-ose compilation error using Sbo slack-build
Hi all
Using the slackbuilds used to be a real pain in the a**, until I found a great little program by Chess Griffin called sbopkg. This little gem has made interaction with the slackbuilds repository and absolute joy, and upgrading my machine as easy as can be. But enough of the good stuff, now for the problem. The only program that I have had problems with is virtualbox-ose-2.0.2 it fails with the following error message. Code:
The failing command: Please help. samac |
samac-
hmm. I just built it in sbopkg and it seems ok (note for others: current sbopkg 0.12.0 has a problem downloading this particular source, but that is fixed in svn. New release of sbopkg will come out soon, or you can grab svn). Anyway, maybe clean out your directories and double check you have the build dependencies for virtualbox-ose listed in the README. I'm trying to figure out from that output what the problem is... |
You also may want to consider posting on the SBo mailing list. I know the maintainer of the Virtualbox scripts is on that list; I don't know if he stops by LQ.
|
ppr:kut is an active member of LQ, and actually posted those
scripts and a link to his repository here before putting them on there ... just for the record. |
Does anyone else have to scroll vertically about 8000 pixels on
this thread? Whenever LQ has code in a thread now, it causes me to have to scroll vertically ... this thread is the worst I've seen. |

I'm sorry, I can't read much from that error message except for where it fails.
Those particular files shouldn't have any special deps, though I might be wrong there. What you can try is to comment out the following line in the provided LocalConfig.kmk: Code:
KBUILD_MSG_STYLE := brief PS: I have that scrolling pain too.... |

the Quote button over there >>> it's quite ridiculous. The scroll bar in the code tagged text is not bad; it's the scroll bar for the whole browser window that's so bad. I'm at 1680x1050 for goodness sakes. Look down there at my scroll bar. |
Sorry it has taken me so long to respond. We had a lightning strike on the telephone exchange.
I have downloaded the VirtualBox-2.0.4-OSE scripts ans source and tried building it without using sbopkg as an interface. I commented out the line Code:
KBUILD_MSG_STYLE := brief Here it is (hope the scroll is better) Code:
kBuild: Compiling VBoxXPCOMIPCD - /tmp/SBo/VirtualBox-2.0.4/src/libs/xpcom18a4/ipc/ipcd/daemon/src/ipcd.cpp samac |
I found a similar error on the vbox-users mailing list, which was caused by the wrong iconv.h header being installed.
VirtualBox apparently needs the iconv.h of glibc, and the other user had libiconv additionally installed. Can you make sure you only got the one from glibc, and that it's there (/usr/include/iconv.h)? |
Thanks ppr:kut this worked fine, it took me a bit longer as I got a power cut just as I was re-installing glibc. Still it was good fun rebuilding my system.

you're welcome :)
