Hi, Recently, VirtualBox fails to compile for me in a pure Wayland environment. It used to compile just fine, I "feel" this issue happened after the "gui" flag, but I am not really sure. Example of one of the compile time fail messages: ------------------------------------------------------ /var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/virtualbox-7.1.4/work/VirtualBox-7.1.4/src/VBox/Frontends/VirtualBox/src/platform/nix/VBoxUtils-nix.cpp:722:94: error: ‘QX11Application’ is not a member of ‘QNativeInterface’; did you mean ‘QWaylandApplication’? | QNativeInterface::QX11Application *pX11App = qApp->nativeInterface<QNativeInterface::QX11Application>(); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | QWaylandApplication ------------------------------------------------------ I'e attached the build log and emerge info etc. Please let me know if you need anything else, or if this is a misconfiguration on my side. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Use Wayland only 2.Emerge virtualbox 7.1.4 3.

Could you attach the build.log as well, please? As an aside, your binhost config is still pointing to a 17.1 directory but your profile is set to a 23.0; you should remove the configuration for 17.1 or update it to 23.0.

I do not have FEATURES="getbinpkg" enabled, so will the contents of "/etc/portage/binrepos.conf/gentoobinhost.conf" matter? Looking over: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Gentoo_Binary_Host_Quickstart#binrepos.conf To see if I should simply delete it.
Thanks for the build.log, reassigning.

Not really, unless you accidentally try to use binpkgs some day. > Looking over: > https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Gentoo_Binary_Host_Quickstart#binrepos.conf > > To see if I should simply delete it. Yes, that'd work.
You need to rebuild dev-qt/qtbase with the X flag enabled. This won't be a pure wayland environment, but upstream does not support one. I will fix the dependency at some point, but I'll first try to build an X-less environment to check if anything else fails.

Odd, as I don't feel I had the "X" use flag enabled for "dev-qt/qtbase" ever. VirtualBox was working fine for the last 6+ months. I can try that, and I assume that would fix it, but I don't understand why it used to work fine? Hence, why I was semi surprised when the build started to fail. I might have misunderstood, but I though QT handled all the X/Wayland stuff for VirtualBox, so as long as it was built, and environment variables set, it should be mostly okay. I know the clipboard has been an issue, but that should be better in 7.1.x.

I did not test if it still works if dev-qt/qtbase is rebuilt with -X afterwards, so I'm adding the requirement to RDEPEND.
