I added documentation to the VirtualBox page on the wiki: https://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/7.2+VirtualBox

No changes were made to the system. Virtualbox used to install on the old OpenSolaris. It is kind of ironic that Sun created Virtualbox and Oracle still releases a package for Solaris, but none of them will install. Why and how do I get Virtualbox installed, or is it not worth the effort? If I can't run Virtualbox then Hipster is useless to me. This has been discussed several times before on the MLs. The error is that the pre-install script checks that 'gcc-45-runtime' is installed but this package does not exist on Hipster, only on Solaris. You can look at Jim's scripts to work around the issue: https://github.com/jimklimov/vboxconfig_sh Now if there was a page on the Wiki about Virtualbox, maybe we would not need to answer the same question every month :) ______________________________ _________________ oi-dev mailing list oi-dev@openindiana.org https://openindiana.org/ mailman/listinfo/oi-dev -- --- Praise the Caffeine embeddings _______________________________________________ oi-dev mailing list oi-dev@openindiana.org https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/oi-dev
