Description Evan Teran 2010-05-12 14:35:52 UTC

Currently virtualbox-ose fails to build due to a configure time contraint on gcc's version. A quick googling suggests that it may build and function just fine. I found a patch in another bug tracker:

Reproducible: Always

patch for configure to higher unwanted gcc version

Revised ebuild is available in 'jasiu' overlay. Shouldn't I rename it to 'newer'?

Wrong file. Sorry.

Comment 4 Bartosz Brachaczek 2010-05-14 16:19:04 UTC

This is already fixed (the same way) in upstream trunk: http://www.virtualbox.org/changeset/28395.

This bug should block #296658.

Any chance we can have this patch apply to 3.1.8 since there is no telling when the next version of virtualbox will be released?
