build log

I get 
  sed 's/ko$/o/' /var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/virtualbox-modules-6.1.2/work/vboxnetflt/modules.order | scripts/mod/modpost   -i ./Module.symvers  -o /var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/virtualbox-modules-6.1.2/work/vboxnetflt/Module.symvers    -s -T - 
ERROR: "VBoxHost_RTErrConvertToErrno" [/var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/virtualbox-modules-6.1.2/work/vboxnetflt/vboxnetflt.ko] undefined!

and many more such error messages.

A very similar problem arises when compiling 
virtualbox-guest-additions-6.1.2

+1 for attached patch working on Linux-5.5.0-gentoo-x86_64-AMD_Athlon
Comment 4 Aleksandr K. 2020-01-29 23:04:20 UTC
Can confirm that with provided patch virtualbox-modules compiles w/o error.
Comment 5 Jack 2020-01-31 16:59:01 UTC
With the patch, I get ok compile, but error in install phase "FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: b'vboxpci.ko'".  The work directory contains  folders vboxdrv, vboxnetadp, vboxnetflt, and vboxpci, but .ko files only for the first three.  If I cd into vboxpci and type "make" I get a bunch of the same "undefined" errors that started this bug.  I'm quite willing to believe there is something odd in my configuration or setup, but I'd appreciate any hints as to where to start looking.  

Ah - the difference is that I am trying virtualbox-modules-6.0.14.  I suppose there is no reason for me not to go to 6.1.2, as everything above 5.2.32 is still marked ~.
Comment 6 Ian Pickworth 2020-02-01 15:09:38 UTC
Confirm that the attached patch works for sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-5.5.1 as well.
(patched version is app-emulation/virtualbox-modules-6.1.2)
Comment 7 Silvio 2020-02-04 07:47:31 UTC
it works for me too.
amd64
gentoo-sources-5.5.1
Comment 8 Sven Eden 2020-02-04 09:54:39 UTC
I can confirm that the patch works with gentoo-sources-5.5.0.

Thank you very much Niranjan!
Comment 9 Silvio 2020-02-04 10:02:31 UTC
To test:

1) mkdir -p /etc/portage/patches/app-emulation/virtualbox-modules-6.1.2
2) cd /etc/portage/patches/app-emulation/virtualbox-modules-6.1.2
3) wget -O fixes_for_5.5.patch https://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=607172
4) emerge -1v virtualbox-modules

I have exactly the same problem. virtualbox-modules version 6.0.16, platform ~ x86.

Virtualbox 6.1.4 works with kernel 5.5.
Comment 20 Iade Gesso 2020-04-07 12:10:41 UTC
I can confirm this bug, with virtualbox-modules-6.1.4-r1, fresh kernel 5.6.2, and gcc 9.2.0-r2

Comment 22 jospezial 2020-04-24 10:35:51 UTC
Latest release in gentoo tree virtualbox-modules-6.1.6 fixes all these issues.
Compiles against linux-5.7_rc.

My only problem is that virtualbox is not ready for qt-5.15 .
Comment 23 Andrea 2021-04-07 14:52:20 UTC
Hi

I'm trying to recompile vbox-guest modules6.1.18 with kernel 5.10.27 and I've the same problems apparently.

The strange thing thet I've noticed is:

Checking for environment: Determined build machine: linux.amd64, target machine: linux.amd64, OK.
Checking for kBuild: found, OK.
Checking for Open Watcom:
  ** Open Watcom was not found, using alternative BIOS sources!

Checking for xslt: found, OK.
Checking for pthread: found, OK.
Checking for libxml2: found version 2.9.10, OK.
Checking for libIDL:
  ** libIDL-config (variable libIDL-config) not found!
Checking for liblzf: not found -- builing liblzf from in-tree code.
Checking for ssl: found version OpenSSL 1.1.1k  25 Mar 2021, OK.

Checking for libcap library: found, OK.
Checking for compiler.h: compiler.h not found, OK.
Checking for 32-bit support: OK.

And:

To compile the kernel modules, do:

  cd ./out/linux.amd64/release/bin/src
  make


  +++ WARNING +++ WARNING +++ WARNING +++ WARNING +++ WARNING +++ WARNING +++
  Hardening is enabled which means that the VBox binaries will not run from
  the binary directory. The binaries have to be installed suid root and some
  more prerequisites have to be fulfilled which is normally done by installing
  the final package. For development, the hardening feature can be disabled
  by specifying the --disable-hardening parameter. Please never disable that
  feature for the final distribution!
  +++ WARNING +++ WARNING +++ WARNING +++ WARNING +++ WARNING +++ WARNING +++


But I've not compiled my kernel with hardening support.
Maybe something that has been activated / deactivated during last kernel update?

Thanks

Does this bug still happen with current versions of virtualbox and kernel?
