Bug Description

Binary package hint: virtualbox-ose-guest-source

virtualbox-ose-guest-source 2.0.2-dfsg-0ubuntu3 (on amd64 on intrepid beta) does not build since it is missing some files:

make[2]: *** No rule to make target `/var/lib/dkms/virtualbox-ose-guest/2.0.2/build/vboxadd/alloc/heapsimple.o', needed by `/var/lib/dkms/virtualbox-ose-guest/2.0.2/build/vboxadd/vboxadd.o'. Stop.
make[1]: *** [/var/lib/dkms/virtualbox-ose-guest/2.0.2/build/vboxadd] Error 2
make: *** [_module_/var/lib/dkms/virtualbox-ose-guest/2.0.2/build] Error 2
make: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.27-4-generic'

I copied alloc/heapsimple.c from the host and it now builds.

I'm also seeing this problem in Intrepid, with virtualbox-ose-guest-source-2.0.4-dfsg-0ubuntu1.

Copying alloc/heapsimple.c from the virtualbox-ose-source package also worked for me to get it built, but then on loading the modules, vboxvfs complains about the missing symbol RTSpinlockCreate.

I can confirm this bug too. Copying alloc/heapsimple.c from upstream solves the problem for me. So basically, there is just a file missing in packaging.

I have a package with the extra file added available at my ppa: https://launchpad.net/%7Erockwalrus/+archive/+files/virtualbox-ose-source_2.0.4-dfsg-0ubuntu2ppa4_all.deb

I've attached a debdiff.

Marking Triaged and giving High priority, since it renders the DKMS part of virtualbox-ose useless, if I understand correctly.

Changed in virtualbox-ose:
importance: Undecided → High
status: New → Triaged

Thanks for the debdiff/patch, Nathan.

I've cleaned it up a bit and fixed the issue with the "clean" target, which did not remove the generated files.

Unfortunately, it now fails to build in my Jaunty pbuilder (i386).

I'm attaching the new debdiff and the build log.

Could you attach the build log, too?

Looks like the hack starting on line 49 of DrvHostDVD.cpp doesn't work anymore with the kernel headers in Jaunty. Fixing it might be as easy as adding

# define _LINUX_BYTEORDER_SWABB_H

under

# define _LINUX_BYTEORDER_SWAB_H

but I don't have a Jaunty i386 VM handy to try it right now.

This bug was fixed in the package virtualbox-ose - 2.0.4-dfsg-0ubuntu3

---------------
virtualbox-ose (2.0.4-dfsg-0ubuntu3) jaunty; urgency=low

  [ Nathan Summers ]
  * Add alloc/heapsimple.c to fix build on amd64. (LP: #278466)
    - virtualbox-ose-guest-source.install.in
  * Add link to alloc/ so that dkms can find it.
    - virtualbox-ose-guest-source.links.in

  [ Daniel Hahler ]
  * debian/rules: expand bash-style shell expansion in "clean"
    target, so the generated files get removed actually.
  * Add debian/patches/15-fix-byteorder-hack-jaunty.dpatch to
    fix FTBFS on Jaunty (patch from Nathan, LP: #278446)

I've just realized I made a mistake, Intrepid Ibex 8.10 "will reach" EOL on 30 "APRIL" 2010.

Sorry for this.

Anyway, I think that one month doesn't make any difference now.
