 Posted: Tue Aug 07, 2012 10:48 pm Post subject: virtualbox-4.2.0 available in portage |
 |
|
IMPORTANT! virtualbox-4.2.0 is now officially in portage. The beta and rc ebuilds have been removed from poly-c overlay!
Hey,
now that virtualbox-4.2.0_beta1 has been released I added beta ebuilds to my private overlay.
should be enough to get all packages. Please keep in mind that I package-masked these ebuilds so that no user of my overlay installs these packages by accident. The easiest way to make the packages available for portage manager is to run the following command: | Code: | | grep virtualbox /var/lib/layman/poly-c/profiles/package.mask >> /etc/portage/package.unmask |
As mentioned by the vbox developers this is not intended for production usage. On the other hand give it a shot and become impressed by the huge speed improvement they seem to have achieved 
Have fun testing.
[edit]Added note about p.mask[/edit]
[edit]Changed title as 4.2.0_rc1 is available[/edit]
[edit]Changed title so people know that the bteas/rcs are no longer in poly-c overlay[/edit]

Polynomial-C,
app-emulation/virtualbox-4.2.0_beta1 doesn't like a /no-multilib/ profile but I suspected as much before I tried to build it.
| Code: | Checking for 32-bit support:
Cannot compile 32-bit applications (missing headers and/or libraries)! |
... and there is no -bin yet. :(

Hi Neddy,
sorry for not adding a -bin package earlier. To be honest I don't use it and I am just co-maintaining it beause I maintain the whole bunch of other virtualbox packages.
To hopefully give you the same great experience with the upcoming 4.2.x series I've added the -bin package to my overlay as well. This -bin package is totally untested other than making sure it installs without any error message (left aside all the QA warnings which I was too lazy to fix right now).
Have fun

Polynomial-C,
The -bin installs and runs here. I have only tested very briefly ... it started a Win XP Guest.
Thanks very much for the -bin.

Thx a lot, I will happily test it but I suspect it won't build with gcc-4.7.2_pre9999 because of wrong version string detection, Makefile.kmk at fault or so 
Yeah, it fails in a part of the code in cpu-exec.c that's only reached because it is configured with -DGCC_WITH_BUGGY_REGPARM which I believe is wrong. Is there a way to override it in the ebuild? |

poly, does it compiles well when mesa and glu are separated?

strange, 4.1.22 fails due to missing glu headers

Then please add it to the glu tracker bug.
You have media-libs/mesa-9999 _and_ media-libs/glu-9999 installed? |

glu won't install because of the emul libs

Then you actually asked the wrong question above *nitpicking*
You can workaround this by emerging it with FEATURES="-collision-protect" emerge --nodeps media-libs/glu, or simply don't use mesa-9999, because imo it won't be solved for some time (either until it's possible to emerge glu without installing lib32 files or we get a new emul-linux-x86-opengl package without the conflict).
Meanwhile, rc4 builds fine with gcc-4.7.1. |

nope, this bug https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=434206 which prevents me from installing it.

| Hm, that's funny. Anyway there's a different thread for that matter, maybe later I've got some time to look into it. |

Well, the kbuild build-system is not that easy for me to fully understand. So I doubt it can be easily overridden in the ebuild.

virtualbox-4.2.0 has been officially released and is already in portage. So I removed the beta/rc ebuilds from poly-c overlay.

As expected, it builds now with gcc-4.7.2. I don't know if it's even worth opening a bug for that, probably not. |
