Bug 309775

Summary: <app-emulation/virtualbox-modules-3.1.2 does not compile with linux-2.6.33
Product: Gentoo Linux Reporter: Malte E. <maltee>
Component: New packagesAssignee: Gentoo Linux bug wranglers <bug-wranglers>
Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE    
Severity: minor    
Priority: High    
Version: unspecified   
Hardware: All   
OS: Linux

Runtime testing required: ---

Description Malte E. 2010-03-16 14:32:52 UTC
The compilation aborts with the build process complaining about linux/autoconf.h not being found.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install and boot linux-2.6.33
2. emerge =app-emulation/virtualbox-modules-3.{0.12,1.0}

Actual Results:  
build fails with an error about linux/autoconf.h not being found

Expected Results:  
emerge should abort, informing about kernel version mismatch

A check for linux-2.6.33 or higher in the virtualbox-modules ebuilds 3.0.12 and 3.1.0 should suffice. In the changelog on the virtualbox homepage I could find that an incompatability with linux-2.6.32 was fixed in 3.1.4, but apperantly 3.1.2 also works with linux-2.6.33. I have not yet tried 2.6.32 though, maybe someone who has it installed anyway would like to do so.

see bugs 297878 and 309069
Comment 2 Malte E. 2010-03-17 07:58:18 UTC
ah, I see. But this still needs fixing. The check should be applied anyway.
