Hey, I am trying to emerge app-emulation/virtualbox-guest-additions-5.2.4 and I got the following error: ``` * Preparing vboxguest module make -j5 -l4 HOSTCC=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc CROSS_COMPILE=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu- 'LDFLAGS=-m elf_x86_64' KERN_DIR=/usr/src/linux KERNOUT=/usr/src/linux all /var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/virtualbox-guest-additions-5.2.4/work/vboxguest/Makefile.include.header:99: *** The variable KERN_DIR must be a kernel build folder and end with /build without a trailing slash, or KERN_VER must be set.

Most likely the package. Might require a similar fix I had to do for app-emulation/virtualbox-modules
This one #598266 ?
I got the same issue. My kernel souces have the following layout: sudo ls -l /usr/src/ total 8 drwxr-xr-x 22 root root 4096 Jan 10 17:47 build-4.4.87-gentoo-r1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Sep 21 11:24 linux -> build-4.4.87-gentoo-r1/ drwxr-xr-x 25 root root 4096 Jan 10 11:06 linux-4.4.87-gentoo-r1 There error is caused by this check in /var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/virtualbox-guest-additions-5.2.4/work/vboxguest/Makefile.include.header ifdef KERN_DIR ifndef KERN_VER ifeq ($(filter %/build,$(KERN_DIR)),) $(error The variable KERN_DIR must be a kernel build folder and end with /build without a trailing slash, or KERN_VER must be set) endif endif endif
Created attachment 514488 [details, diff] ebuild patch compiles against gentoo-sources-4.14.13
Confirmed it compiles/install on 4.14.13
The fix was never added to the ebuild. =app-emulation/virtualbox-guest-additions-5.2.12 has the same issue. Adding 'KERN_VER=${KV_FULL}' to the BUILD_PARAMS (as described in the patch from 2018-01-12) fixed the issue. I'm using '=sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-4.16.9'. ---- # l /usr/src/ total 16 drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 May 21 09:01 ./ drwxr-xr-x 13 root root 4096 Jan 29 11:29 ../ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jan 16 15:55 .keep lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 May 21 09:01 linux -> linux-4.16.9-gentoo/ drwxr-xr-x 27 root root 4096 May 21 09:29 linux-4.16.9-gentoo/ ---- Can we get this patch included in the ebuild please?
Sorry, but this **absolutely not** fixed. I just ran into the very same issue. It only worked once I patched the Makefile.header.include which causes the farcical "KERN_DIR" issue. The solution that is enclosed here (dated from last JANUARY) is nowhere to be seen.
