Hi, I have been trying to build VirtualBox (on Windows) from VirtualBox-4.0.4.tar.bz2 that I obtained from Virtualbox website. I followed instructions at the Virtualbox website and quite good information that I obtained from the forums!
1. I ran into an asm.h issue and used the patch described in [asm_patch] to fix it. Presence of this build issue suggests that the tar-file on Virtualbox website is not up-to-date. Can somebody please confirm? If yes, where can I download the exact source code label that was used to build VirtualBox 4.0.4? 2. When I ran testcases present in the tar-file, I got 67 failed and 46 skipped out of a total of 309 tests. Is this expected? 3. VBOX_PATH_WIX (in config.kmk) is defined as $(PATH_DEVTOOLS)/win.x86/wix/v2.0.5805.0. There is no wix subdir in tools/win.x86 directory in the tar-file. Is it supposed to be present? Are there any instructions on how to build the installer that I can follow? I will really appreciate if somebody can help me with these questions. Thanks in advance! --Vikram src : http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.0.4/VirtualBox-4.0.4.tar.bz2 Build instructions : http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Windows%20build%20instructions Forums: http://forum.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=10&p=155621 [asm_patch]: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.virtualbox.devel/3590
