vbox Virtualbox 7.1.4 Guest additions tools not available and can’t compile from port in FreeBSD 14.2-RELEASE

[antoine2711]

Hi,

I try to install the port for VB v7.1.4 in FreeBSD 14.2-RELEASE, but I can only get v6.1.50 and it doesn’t compile the port…

I did this:
cd /usr/ports/emulators/virtualbox-ose-additions-nox11
sudo make install clean

And it stops a one point with this:
kBuild: Compiling RuntimeGuestR3Shared - /usr/ports/emulators/virtualbox-ose-additions-nox11/work/VirtualBox-6.1.50/src/VBox/Runtime/common/dbg/dbgstackdumpself.cpp

So I have 2 problems:

1. I can’t find v7.1.4 of the VBox Guest Additions, only v6.1.50 and
2. Even v6.1.50 won’t compile from port.

I also tried to install from the VB CD-ROM, but this is what I get:
sudo /media/cdrom/VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
Verifying archive integrity... 100% MD5 checksums are OK. All good.
Uncompressing VirtualBox 7.1.4 Guest Additions for Linux 100%
VirtualBox Guest Additions installer
Unable to determine correct library path.

Any advices on all these questions?

I can’t find v7.1.4 of the VBox Guest Additions, only v6.1.50 and

VirtualBox v7 has not arrived in ports, yet ( Bug 271146 - emulators/virtualbox-ose{-*}: update to 7.1.4 )

There are two version in ports for the time being, legacy v5.2.44 and v6.1.50 .

Even v6.1.50 won’t compile from port.

virtualBox-ose-additions provides two kernel modules. These modules must be built against the running kernel. You will need the FreeBSD source code installed. Make sure it's the correct branch.
