Re: VirtualBox Guest Additions anyone?

I built the additions setting VBOX_ONLY_ADDITIONS=1, but I can't test them right now - my today's 8.99.7 panics when I try to start Xorg under VirtualBox, also 'Xorg -configure' crashes. I am not clear how to pack them and install them - I have:

...

bin/additions/vboxvideo_drv_70.so

... (a bunch of similar drivers)

bin/additions/vboxmouse_drv_112.so

bin/additions/vboxguest.kmod

bin/additions/VBoxControl

bin/additions/VBoxService

bin/additions/VBoxClient

lib

lib/additions

lib/additions/RuntimeGuestR0.a

...(more archives)

lib/additions/RuntimeGuestR3Shared.a

lib/HGSMIHostR3Lib.a

lib/VBoxRTImp.so

lib/libXcomposite.so

lib/libXdamage.so

lib/libXfixes.so

lib/libXext.so

...

Oh, sorry, I forgot to provide the build instructions for the guest
additions. You ended up building not the GAs but vbox itself, which
doesn't support netbsd as a host.

You need to install devel/yasm

You need to create the file LocalConfig.kmk in the top-level directory
with something like this:

----8<--------8<----
# Where the NetBSD sources are
# VBOX_NETBSD_SRC := /usr/src

# If you build the same workspace on multiple NetBSD versions (amd64
# vs i386 is taken care of by the build system)
# PATH_OUT_BASE := $(PATH_ROOT)/out-$(shell uname -r)

# XXX: svn checkout on my host is done with an old svn version that
# svn in the netbsd guest is not happy about, so proivde the revision
# manually
# VBOX_SVN_REV := 9999

# XXX: I don't remember if that affects GAs
# VBOX_WITHOUT_HARDENING := 1

VBOX_ONLY_ADDITIONS := 1
VBOX_WITH_ADDITION_DRIVERS := 1
VBOX_WITH_X11_ADDITIONS := 1
----8<--------8<----

After that you should be able to build with:

kmk KBUILD_VERBOSE=2 BUILD_TYPE=release # or BUILD_TYPE=debug

PS: And if someone feels like hacking on shared folders or drm/kms
driver, drop me a mail.
