Hi, I'm adding IPV6 support to VBox right now, and get a weird error message while compiling VBox:
In file included from
/home/builder/vbox42/22082012/virtualbox/src/VirtualBox-4.2/include/iprt/string.h:34:0,

Error 1
What did I do?
I added some headers to "include/iprt/string.h" and the functions to
"src/VBox/Runtime/common/string/RTStrIp6.cpp". I also added the function to
"include/iprt/mangling.h"
To make kBuild recognize "RTStrIp6.cpp", "Makefile.kmk" in "src/VBox/Runtime"
is patched.
Everything seems to work fine, until the following function:
"RTDECL(int) RTStrToIpAddress6(const char *psz, PRTNETADDRIPV6 pAddr, uint32_t
*pPortOut, char *pszScopeOut, size_t scopeOutSize);"
has been declared. The function uses PRTNETADDRIPV6 to return the binary
representation of an IPv6 address. So to make this structure visible during
compile time, I included "iprt/net.h" at the top of "string.h".
After doing that, I always end up with the above error message. I checked all
files mentioned above multiple times, ran cpp only to check the returned source
- nothing.
If the include statement is removed and the function is commented out,
everything builds just fine.
"net.h" is fine, too - the mentioned line in net.h is the point of definition
of the INETADDR union.

So, I'm a bit lost now. Someone any suggestions what I could try?
