Title: VBOX version 2.0 is out, waiting for VBOX/2
Post by: cytan on 2008.09.05, 23:52:46
Hi,
   I just saw that vbox version 2 is out. I hope that Paul will be compiling it for OS/2 :-). However, it seems that QT4 is needed, which may mean we won't have a GUI :-(.

I think that QT3 may still be able to be built against.  However, the last build I did (and subsequently when I asked Paul his was the same) the build would not run.

Do you mean vbox 1.66 can be built but cannot run?

I don't remember what the version number was... it was maybe 3 weeks ago.. but yes it built (only one build problem that I recall) but would not run.

Have the vbox authors been informed of the problem?


Pity, I'm not a programmer and clearly cannot help here.

Will the newly released gcc 3.4.6 help with the vbox compile but cannot run problem?
