This package does not support Python 3.12. Please test it with Python 3.12 as a matter of urgency as the default will change in early June, as per message on gentoo-dev: https://www.mail-archive.com/gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org/msg99104.html. Please check the information provided in the tracker. Ask in #gentoo-python on IRC if need any help.

Can you do this with 6.1.50-r2? I tried, but I know zilch about how portage actually works internally. I *think* I copied all your changes to make python go away with the -python flag, but when I added: else cat >> AutoConfig.kmk <<-EOF || die VBOX_WITH_PYTHON:= EOF fi down around line 376 in the 6.1.50-r2 ebuild, it fails. Sorry if this is formatted incorrectly. Ultimately, I kludged around by just changing the 11 to 12 in the "PYTHON_COMPAT=( python3_{10..12} )" line, I know it says it'll silently fail, but I'm not even sure where/how Python gets used, I'm not doing any scripting with VBox.
Created attachment 894627 [details, diff] patch duplicates the changes made to 7.0.18-r2
Created attachment 894628 [details, diff] Patch that duplicates Viorel Munteanu's work, but for 6.1.50-r2 Messed up first time, this one has all of the changes to make the package compile with Python 3.12. Works locally.
The 6.1 branch is no longer supported upstream. I'll keep 6.1.50 in the tree as long as it is practical, but it will go away eventually (sooner or later it will no longer compile on newer kernels, or someone will find security issues), so it's better to try to migrate to the 7.0 branch. This being said, I'll try to find some time in the weekend to decouple it from python.
Thank You. 7 has a weird bug, on multiple monitors, in full screen, the drop-down bar will be in a different screen unless I flip from full screen to windowed and back. It's why I'm clinging to 6.
ceamac, could you stable a version w/ the Python detangling done?
In arch they are applying this python 3.12 patch: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/virtualbox/-/blob/main/020-python-3-12.patch?ref_type=heads
Version 7.1.2 has already been released. Is there still no support for python 3.12?
Last I checked it still crashed (in 7.1.0), and they did not reply to my ticket. I'll test it again in the weekend.
It still crashes. I did one more test: I copied VBoxPython3.so from the package for Fedora 40, which claims to support python 3.12, and it also crashes in the same spot. If I run the same binary with python 3.11, it works. I don't have access to a Fedora 40 machine to check if it works there. In conclusion, if you do use the Python bindings, you must stay at python 3.11. If you do not use them, simply build virtualbox with USE=-python.
I tried to build it myself with python 3.12 and it worked for me.

I don't think that means too much unless you share the ebuild change you made and test the Python bindings. Did you?
(In reply to Sam James from comment #13) > I don't think that means too much unless you share the ebuild change you > made and test the Python bindings. Did you? I am ready to share any information. In virtualbox-7.1.2.ebuild, I fixed only this: ``` PYTHON_COMPAT=( python3_{10..12} ) ``` ^ VirtualBox was built with the following flags: ``` [ebuild R ] app-emulation/virtualbox-7.1.2:0/7.1::gentoo USE="alsa dbus gui nls opengl pam pulseaudio python sdk udev vmmraw -debug -doc -dtrace -java -lvm (-pch) -sdl -vboxwebsrv -vde -vnc" PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python3_12 -python3_10 -python3_11" ```

We should consider adding a trivial src_test (extension) with USE=python containing this.
Upstream just released 7.0.22 and 7.1.4, I'll add it to that release.

I added the test and the results are: - python 3.11 works - python 3.12 builds but crashes - python 3.13 does not build. If I patch the Makefile to add python 3.13 I get compile errors, some functions have been removed (PyEval_CallObject, PyObject_AsReadBuffer, maybe others).
