Bug 843437 – app-emulation/virtualbox-6.1.32-r1[-pam]: build fails with missing include security/pam_appl.h

• Status: UNCONFIRMED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description François-Xavier Carton 2022-05-09 15:26:33 UTC]

Building virtualbox[-pam] without PAM installed fails because of <security/pam_appl.h> missing.

I was able to build the package by:
1) applying fix_no_pam.patch (which I'll attach) which is an adaptation for that version of vbox from upstream patch https://www.virtualbox.org/changeset/94406/vbox
2) adding -DIPRT_WITHOUT_PAM=1 to CXXFLAGS with package.env, because I wasn't able to figure out how to set it with the build system
3) add the following to the ebuild, right before the configure line at the end of src_configure, so that CXXFLAGS are honored (right now they are not or filtered):

cat >> LocalConfig.kmk <<EOF || die
CFLAGS=${CFLAGS}
CXXFLAGS=${CXXFLAGS}                                                                                                   
EOF

Reproducible: Always

Also I should add that this happened while upgrading the package. The previous version I had, 6.1.28-r1, was fine.
