--disable-vmmraw fails to build with 4.2.0 => Fixed in SVN

[Marius Cirsta]

I tried to compile Virtualbox 4.2.0 on x86_64 with these options:

./configure --disable-docs --nofatal --disable-pulse --disable-vmmraw

And got the following error:

kBuild: Compiling VBoxVMM - /mnt/aux/packages/virtualbox/src/VirtualBox-4.2.0/src/VBox/VMM/VMMR3/STAM.cpp /mnt/aux/packages/virtualbox/src/VirtualBox-4.2.0/src/VBox/VMM/VMMR3/SELM.cpp: In function 'int selmR3UpdateShadowGdt(PVM, PVMCPU)': /mnt/aux/packages/virtualbox/src/VirtualBox-4.2.0/src/VBox/VMM/VMMR3/SELM.cpp:961:40: error: 'selmGuestToShadowDesc' was not declared in this scope /mnt/aux/packages/virtualbox/src/VirtualBox-4.2.0/src/VBox/VMM/VMMR3/SELM.cpp: In function 'int selmR3UpdateShadowLdt(PVM, PVMCPU)': /mnt/aux/packages/virtualbox/src/VirtualBox-4.2.0/src/VBox/VMM/VMMR3/SELM.cpp:1240:48: error: 'selmGuestToShadowDesc' was not declared in this scope /mnt/aux/packages/virtualbox/src/VirtualBox-4.2.0/src/VBox/VMM/VMMR3/SELM.cpp: In function 'VBOXSTRICTRC selmR3UpdateSegmentRegisters(PVM, PVMCPU)': /mnt/aux/packages/virtualbox/src/VirtualBox-4.2.0/src/VBox/VMM/VMMR3/SELM.cpp:1323:71: error: 'selmIsSRegStale32' was not declared in this scope /mnt/aux/packages/virtualbox/src/VirtualBox-4.2.0/src/VBox/VMM/VMMR3/SELM.cpp:1335:72: error: 'selmIsSRegStale32' was not declared in this scope /mnt/aux/packages/virtualbox/src/VirtualBox-4.2.0/src/VBox/VMM/VMMR3/SELM.cpp:1350:81: error: 'selmIsShwDescGoodForSReg' was not declared in this scope /mnt/aux/packages/virtualbox/src/VirtualBox-4.2.0/src/VBox/VMM/VMMR3/SELM.cpp:1352:71: error: 'selmLoadHiddenSRegFromShadowDesc' was not declared in this scope kmk: * mnt/aux/packages/virtualbox/src/VirtualBox-4.2.0/out/linux.amd64/release/obj/VBoxVMM/VMMR3/SELM.o Error 1

This is a regression as it did work with Vbox 4.18 and I can't use 4.2x without this as I have a pure 64bit environment.

[Frank Mehnert]

Problem confirmed, fix currently not in sight.

[Marius Cirsta]

Thanks Frank. I'd like to help as I'm a programmer myself but I don't suppose the fix is trivial.

Maybe I'll take a look if I have some time. Don't really have a knowledge of the code though ...

[Frank Mehnert]

Finally fixed in the public repository. The fix will be also part of the next maintenance release. But please be aware that we don't test the code compiled with raw mode disabled that often.

[Frank Mehnert]

Fixed in VBox 4.2.6.

[Marius Cirsta]

I realize that you don't really fully support this but I'll settle for what I can get :). If anything goes wrong I'll report it. Usually though it I find VirtualBox works very well and it's my favorite VM. Thanks for the help and your work.
