for this I think we should follow what has been updated on @pprkut (the maintainer) private repository for current |

Absolutely! I came across his site but not his repository while I was fighting this build... Thank you for all the management work you put in this, especially the overview of different people's personal repositories. I'll follow his changes and adapt this PR. Heiko |

Okay, there we go. I took the files from @pprkut's private repo, massaged them a little to make them build and check stuff on my system (VBOX_JAVA_HOME set to JAVA_HOME instead of just /usr/lib64/java, check for vboxweb user and vboxusers group), re-added and adapted the README and README.SLACKWARE and I hope I uploaded what actually builds for me. I'll go on to do virtualbox-kernel and virtualbox-addons next. Heiko |

I adapted the patches to modify only what's necessary for the SBo repository trying avoiding changes to the script's standards (that the original author uses in his repository): sorry if I hadn't been clear about adapting the scripts, should be all ok but please double-check! |

Yes, I saw there were a couple of things changed between 15.0-SBo and the author's scripts. I wasn't sure which way to go in some of them, and I'm perfectly fine however you decide. I'll test the virtualbox branch some time this week and report back. Heiko |

Another one I've been fighting in my upgrade to -current was virtualbox. I saw you already changed a few things around the CXX_FLAGS, particularly the C++ standard, but I still couldn't build it: Failures also in the C parts (mainly bool being added to C23).
I was not able to find out how to add CFLAGS to VirtualBox kBuild system, so I went nuclear and updated virtualbox to 7.2.4 in a pretty hackish way, which builds on current mostly out-of-the-box.
Note I did not update virtualbox-kernel, so to get the matching virtualbox kernel modules, I went to /usr/src/virtualbox-kernel-7.2.4 and did make && make install there.
Also note that the (current) kernel by default loads the kvm and kvm_intel modules, which need to be unloaded for VirtualBox (7.2.4) to work. Not sure if this is a change from 15.0-kernel to current-kernel or from VirtualBox 6.1.50 to 7.2.4.

P.S: I'm mentioning this here because I can't seem to find my LQ account to post it there :)
