Building VirtualBox OSE from SVN on OS X

Today abutcher and I found every way to fail to build VirtualBox OSE from source on OS X. We followed the build instructions on their web site but had some problems. I’ll post a more detailed writeup of what happened and what you need to do to build it later. Until then, here’s a link to download the most recent checkout from svn, built for OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard). And here’s the SHA256:

    Hi,

    I had some problems compiling VB OSE on Snow Leopard and so would be very interested in seeing your writeup. Any idea when it might be completed?

  2. I got hung up on the libcrypto when I attempted to recompile OSE recently as well. I haven’t got past that part yet. I’ll make an announcement if I can solve that problem.
