VirtualBox kernel 2.6.29 patch[SOLVED]

Llama · 2009-04-08 06:54:34

Hi,

I'm trying to build VirtualBox from AUR. I tried to apply the patch as instructed, got an error:

Verifying archive integrity... MD5 checksums are OK. All good.
patch: **** Can't open patch file /home/me/sandbox/abs/virtualbox_bin/src/virtualbox-kernel-2-6-29.patch : No such file or directory
==> ERROR: Build Failed.
Aborting...

There's no such file indeed. I suppose the trouble is due to my lack of skills; unwilling to contaminate the AUR thread with dumb questions, I post here .

My PKGBUILD, modified according to instructions to the best of my ability :

The patch file name is not in the source array, so it isn't being copied into the src directory. You should add the file name to the source array and regenerate the md5sums.

I suspected something like that, but the patch file is nowhere to be found (?).

How am I supposed to do this?

The patch is not needed.. Virtualbox builds and works fine here without it. If in doubt try my PKGBUILDs: http://users.archlinux.de/~pierre/packa … irtualbox/

Thanks, Pierre!

Turned out to be this problem.
