Rusty,
Thank you for your answer. I don't doubt that the majority of users
would have this port compile, otherwise there would have been an update.
:) What is weird is the nature of the error. It shows up in a file,
tstVMStructRC.h, which is apparently autogenerated and immediately
deleted after the failure (in fractions of a second), so I couldn't even
manage to look at its contents. And another file in this directory,
which I believe is of similar meaning, tstAsmStructsHC.h, is just a set
of macros line by line, so how could there appear a syntax error? I
wonder if it has anything to do with any software already installed or
is inherent to Virtualbox code. Unfortunately, I am not very familiar
with kBuild to track this error down myself.
Best regards,
Yuri.
