virtualbox-ose, virtualbox-modules 2.2.0 on kernel 2.6.29

Anyone managed to get virtualbox-ose and virtualbox-modules 2.2.0 working on kernel 2.6.29?

I tried editing the virtualbox-modules PKGBUILD like so:

9,10c10,11
< _kernver=2.6.28-ARCH
< pkgver=2.1.2
---
> _kernver=2.6.29-ARCH
> pkgver=2.2.0
16,17c17,18
< depends=('kernel26>=2.6.28' 'kernel26<2.6.29')
< makedepends=('bin86' 'dev86' 'iasl' 'libstdc++5' 'qt3' 'sdl_ttf' 'libxt'
---
> depends=('kernel26>=2.6.28' 'kernel26<2.6.30')
> makedepends=('bin86' 'dev86' 'iasl' 'libstdc++5' 'qt3' 'qt4' 'sdl_ttf' 'libxt'
44c45
< md5sums=('ce1360945d65a79dbea1bec997c25c00')
---
> md5sums=('37bd7d58cf7b6c46998cfd82c1b70573')

to get the makedeps in place I did

pacman -Sy --asdeps dev86 iasl qt3 qt4 sdl_ttf pulseaudio gcc34 xalan-c

But when I run makepkg it can't find Qt4 sad

Re: virtualbox-ose, virtualbox-modules 2.2.0 on kernel 2.6.29

isn't qt4 just called qt?

and you'll also probably need this:

#get virtualbox working with 2.6.29
in /opt/virtualbox/src/vboxdrv/Makefile, uncomment VBOX_USE_INSERT_PAGE and recompile module - should be fixed by 2.6.29.1

for -ose i'm not sure where the Makefile is, but i guess you can find it with grep

actually qt provides qt4. so If you call pacman -S qt4 it will install qt (which is at version 4.something)
I have qt and qt3 installed.

I don't think so. I'm running 2.6.29.1

I did a reinstall of arch this weekend, and I still had to use VBOX_USE_INSERT_PAGE even with the updated kernel from testing. Don't think they got around to fixing it yet.

@ Dieter

Does virtualbox_bin work for you? It seems to work fine on a new (few days ago) 64-bit installation.

Yeah that works.

But still, I would like to get 2.2.0 ose running. Everytime there is a new vbox release it's the same problem: I try to compile it myself (because the packages lag a bit) but everytime I fail to build it myself sad

I'd guess the packages lag because other people can't get it to build either.
