You should add -similar "stop" lines to your rc.local_shutdown. - -By default you have to create a vboxusers group, for example with - groupadd -g 215 vboxusers -and make your user a member of that group. -Alternatively, you can run the script with VBOXUSERS=no to allow all -users of your system to start virtual machines. - By default VirtualBox will be compiled with hardening enabled. That means all binaries will be run suid root, which is the default behaviour of upstream packages. However, you are still able to disable this by passing HARDENING=no to the script. -When hardening is enabled, VBOXUSERS is automatically set to yes. -If the VirtualBox Additions ISO is available in the same directory -as the build script, it will be included in the package and placed -under /usr/share/virtualbox/. Same goes for the UserManual -They can be downloaded from: - http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/2.1.4/VBoxGuestAdditions_2.1.4.iso - http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/2.1.4/UserManual.pdf +You have to create a vboxusers group, e.g. "groupadd -g 215 vboxusers" +and make your user a member of that group. -Since 2.0.0 there is a Qt4 GUI, which is enabled by default. To disable it pass -QT4=no to the script. An older, no longer maintained Qt3 GUI is also available -but disabled by default (no new features have been added to this since 2.0). -To enable it, pass QT3=yes to the script. -Beware: the Qt3 GUI has already been removed from svn trunk, and 2.2.0 will -only have a Qt4 GUI available. +To compile virtualbox without the Qt4 GUI pass QT4=no to the script. -For pulseaudio support, pass PULSE=yes to the build script. This requires -pulseaudio to be installed. +To enable the webservice pass WEBSERVICE=yes to the script. This adds gsoap +to the list of required dependencies. This requires acpica, and the virtualbox-kernel package is needed at runtime. +See README.SLACKWARE for some setup notes. + +NOTE: This will not build on a stock x86_64 system. |
