Haiku as Guest additions VB?

hy everyone…
How to install haiku as Guest additions VirtualBox?
and how to share file folder on Host to guest machine?
thx…

There’s no guest additions for Haiku.

What you do is setup a FileZilla ftp server on whichever PC in your network you want and transfer files back and forth from Haiku using that. It’s either that or you use a USB flash drive to copy files.

Some guys in Australia have started work on a Dropbox app for Haiku but I don’t know if it’s functional yet. You can find the source through a link on this website related to a Haiku event which recently occurred in Australia.

You should do some research before making statements like that. There are in fact additions for gcc4 versions of Haiku created as part of GSoC. In fact, one of the virtualbox devs is in the process of reviewing/merging them upstream.

That would be me :slight_smile: And yes, I’ve merged them upstream now and Haiku additions compile out of the vbox tree just fine. I’ve tested the basic PCI driver and mouse integration which works. There is currently no binaries available, but I intend to cleanup the additions a bit and also write some sort of automated packaging that produces haiku binaries that can be installed from the VirtualBox guest additions ISO.

I eagerly await the binaries, or at least a description on how to compile the source in this case. Do I need to grab the svn of the whole Virtualbox tree?

I’d like to have binaries too, I can’t build it myself on gcc4 haiku to save my life.
