VirtualBox Open Source Edition (OSE) is a general-purpose full
|
|
virtualizer for x86 hardware.
|
|
|
|
By default VirtualBox will be compiled with hardening enabled. That
|
|
means all binaries will be run suid root, which is the default
|
|
behaviour of upstream packages. However, you are still able
|
|
to disable this by passing HARDENING=no to the script.
|
|
|
|
You have to create a vboxusers group, e.g. "groupadd -g 215 vboxusers"
|
|
and make your user a member of that group.
|
|
|
|
To compile a headless virtualbox pass HEADLESS=yes to the script.
|
|
|
|
To enable the webservice pass WEBSERVICE=yes to the script. This will
|
|
require gsoap as optional dependency.
|
|
|
|
If you want to build the java bindings, pass JAVA=yes to the script.
|
|
This will require jdk as optional dependency.
|
|
|
|
On x86_64, this by default builds without software virtualization. This
|
|
means you need hardware virtualization in order to run 32bit guests on
|
|
64bit hosts. To enable software virtualization, pass
|
|
SOFTWARE_VIRTUALIZATION=yes to the script. Note that this will require
|
|
a compiler that can generate 32bit code, and thus will not build on a
|
|
stock x86_64 system. This switch has no effect on x86 systems.
|
|
|
|
If you want to attach VirtualBox to a VDE network you will need vde2.
|

|
See README.SLACKWARE for some setup notes.
