Public bug reported:
When installing the 4.2.6 Guest Additions from Oracle on a Ubuntu 13.04
64-bit guest I saw the following message. I know its alpha at best but
thought I would at least report what I saw and also my possible temporay
fix.
# lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu Raring Ringtail (development branch)
Release: 13.04
# cat /var/log/vboxadd-install.log
...
/tmp/vbox.0/VBoxGuest-linux.c:199:49: error: expected ‘=’, ‘,’, ‘;’, ‘asm’ or
‘__attribute__’ before ‘g_VBoxGuestPciId’
/tmp/vbox.0/VBoxGuest-linux.c:328:21: error: ‘g_VBoxGuestPciId’ undeclared here
(not in a function)
/tmp/vbox.0/VBoxGuest-linux.c:209:1: error: ‘__mod_pci_device_table’ aliased to
undefined symbol ‘g_VBoxGuestPciId’
make[2]: *** [/tmp/vbox.0/VBoxGuest-linux.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [_module_/tmp/vbox.0] Error 2
make: *** [vboxguest] Error 2
Creating user for the Guest Additions.
Creating udev rule for the Guest Additions kernel module.
Temorarily I did the following until I can figure out why this is:
# pwd
/opt/VBoxGuestAdditions-4.2.6/src/vboxguest-4.2.6/vboxguest
# diff VBoxGuest-linux.c VBoxGuest-linux.c.orig
199c199
< static const struct pci_device_id g_VBoxGuestPciId[] =
---
> static const struct pci_device_id __devinitdata g_VBoxGuestPciId[] =
Then the compile ran ok and the modules were built:
