Please attach the build.log file to this bug. If bugzilla says it's too big, attach the file xz-compressed.

There's already bug #579910 about the guest-additions so let's use this bug for the video driver.

add patch to ebuild

Apply makedev patch in ebuild.

[Comment 7 Darren Smith 2016-04-15 12:48:13 UTC]

I just remembered that the ebuild I posted also includes another fix I've needed to get this package to compile (-Wno-maybe-unitialized added to VBOX_GCC_OPT). Obviously, you may not want to include that officially. I'm not sure why I seem to be the only one with that issue since this package won't compile with gcc 4.8 and 4.9+ generates maybe-unitialized errors on all of my systems.

[Comment 8 Oleksii 2016-04-15 14:25:28 UTC]

Patch going to reject. Please, can You check why?

[Comment 9 Oleksii 2016-04-15 14:42:18 UTC]

I have compiled without error. So partially fixed.
But packages app-emulation/virtualbox-guest-additions fails with the same error.
Please, can You make patch for this package?
Thank You

Ping - this is now blocking glibc-2.25 stabilization.

Do we need to keep this package? -> bug 614308

[Comment 16 Andreas K. Hüttel 2018-04-29 21:42:49 UTC]

This is already fixed in current stable xf86-video-virtualbox-5.1.32
