VirtualBox OSE 1.5.4 does not compile with yasm 0.6.2.1985 (Fedora 8)

[till]

When I try to compile VirtualBox OSE 1.5.4 with yasm from Fedora 8 (0.6.2.1985 resp. yasm-0.6.2-1.fc8) the build fails with the following output:

Please post the output of

kmk KBUILD_VERBOSE=2

And please use the yasm binary from the OSE SVN repository as it contains some fixes.

Replying to frank:

Please post the output of

kmk KBUILD_VERBOSE=2

I can do this, but

And please use the yasm binary from the OSE SVN repository as it contains some fixes.

I want to use yasm 0.6.2. Compiling with yasm 0.6.0 from Fedora 7 works and the yasm binary from the OSE SVN repository identifies itself as 0.6.0, too. Do you need the verbose output of the kmk build with yasm 0.6.2 or do you want to only support compiling with the prebuilt binary? Can you maybe also include the patches to yasm in the VirtualBox OSE svn?

ping?

Two options, either use the tstASMStructsAsm-lst.sed script from the trunk (the trunk is using yasm 0.6.2 now), or use the yasm we ship (it should be included in the tarball - tools/bin/linux.amd64/yasm).

Thanks, I will try it with the the sed script from trunk.

With the sed script it compiles without any problems with yasm 0.6.2 and 0.6.0 from Fedora.

I will close this bug. I was reported that newer versions of yasm work out of the box with 1.6.0.
