virtualbox compilation errors

[Lonnie Cumberland]

Hi Christian,

I was able to get VirtualBox to compile and am working to see if I can test it as it does not look like it will work in Qemu. For this part, I think that I will just get the iso and boot it from a CDROM onto a test machine.

As it also seems that VirtualBox may not have all of the features implemented that would be in the normal VB 4.2.x release beyond the networking and SMP which Norman has already mentioned, I was wondering what else might be missing, or perhaps the converse as to what might be implemented like VB CDROM's etc....

My next goals are to get a bit more familiar with Genode + NOVA for the demo's and other things like the Nitpicker GUI, etc.... I want to compile up some other things that are in the current release and test them out to get more of a feel for how Genode does thing.  I also was looking to see if Genode has some type of file explorer available. I guess that I could use a terminal and mount in a filesystem, or something.

I will also be exploring the older NOVA code as I want to find out how they did some of the things in the NOVA 0.3 demo like showing the "tutor" and switching between the VMM's via  [win] + F1 - F12 or LArrow and RArrow into fullscreen for each VMM.

Anyway, it looks like I am off to a good start and I really appreciate all of your's and Normans help.

Cheers,
Lonnie

It seems your command line is wrong. Please try

  patch -p1 < vbox-lib.patch  or
  patch -p1 -i vbox-lib.patch

Please also have a look at 'git help apply'.
