The gcc and g++ compilers you point configure to here aren't right. I guess that's because the gcc version check logic in configure didn't account for mac os x using gcc 4.0.x. That's been fixed now. So, running ./configure without any arguments should work fine again. > It builds, though, I had to tweak makefiles to omit non-existing darwin > installation and USB support, but it's minor.

I've fixed this problem. The src/VBox/VMM/Makefile.kmk had an obsoleted VBOX_OSE hack. If you've loaded VBoxDrv.kext and checked out kLdr correctly, it should work now. The kext can be loaded using the load.sh script found in out/darwin.x86/release/dist. kLdr you can get by entering src/VBox/Runtime and typing: svn co http://svn.netlabs.org/repos/libc/trunk/[EMAIL PROTECTED] kLdr > Even with "fake" specified, it doesn't boot Windows; after the windows > splash screen, the virtualbox segfaults.

It's not a priority (yet) to do anything about that as its only purpose it to serve as a milestone when porting VirtualBox to a new host OS.
