Hi, everyone.

I want to build the VirtualBox for Mac OS.
But, I failed it.

My environment is Mac OS Snow Leopard (10.6.8) 64bit.
Xcode version is 3.2.6.
Mac OS X SDK is 10.6.

Can I build the VirtualBox in my environment?
I referenced this link (
https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Mac%20OS%20X%20build%20instructions).

Questions
1. Can you install the ports to universal? I failed install using
+universal option. (libffi install error)
So, I installed not universal version.
This setting is available?
2. Where can I download the Qt? I can't connect the Qt link.
So, I downloaded the Qt4.8.6 from <http://qt-project.org/downloads>.
But, this qt library does not recognized, when I run the configure.
Error log is <qt4 not working>.

I think the document for Mac OS X build instruction is too old.

I don't know what is wrong.
My environment is wrong?
Or, prepare is wrong?

Please guide for building the VirtualBox on Mac OS.

Hi ???,
1. Can you install the ports to universal? I failed install using +universal option. (libffi install error)
So, I installed not universal version.
This setting is available?
Non-universal packages also can be used.
2. Where can I download the Qt? I can't connect the Qt link.
So, I downloaded the Qt4.8.6 from <http://qt-project.org/downloads>.
But, this qt library does not recognized, when I run the configure.
Error log is <qt4 not working>.
Please use ?qt4-mac? package from MacPorts (i.e., sudo port install qt4-mac).

Please also refer to this thread [https://www.virtualbox.org/pipermail/vbox-dev/2014-June/012390.html]. It is mainly about build on Mavericks host, but may clarify some common things (e.g., how [and why] to set permissions to out/darwin.{amd64, x86}/{release, debug}/dist/VirtualBox.app/Contents/MacOS/VBoxNetAdpCtl).

Please let us know if it helped you. If not, please post actual error message printed by ./configure script or kmk tool.
