VBoxSDL.so is NOT statically linked against libSDL on Solaris 10 x86 => Fixed in next version

[Ralph Gessner]

Hello.

In the Solaris x86 version (VirtualBox-2.0.2-36488-SunOS_x86.tar.gz), VBoxSDL.so is dynamically linked against libSDL-1.2.so.0 which is not included in Solaris 10 (u5).

# ldd VBoxSDL.so
        libX11.so =>     /usr/lib/libX11.so
        [ ... ]
        VBoxXPCOM.so =>  /opt/VirtualBox/VBoxXPCOM.so
        libSDL-1.2.so.0 =>       (file not found)
        libstdc++.so.6 =>        /usr/sfw/lib/libstdc++.so.6
        [ ... ]
        libuutil.so.1 =>         /lib/libuutil.so.1
        libgen.so.1 =>   /lib/libgen.so.1
#

starting of VBoxSDL will break with:

# ./VBoxSDL
VBoxSDL: supR3HardenedMainGetTrustedMain: dlopen("/opt/VirtualBox/VBoxSDL.so",)
failed: ld.so.1: VBoxSDL: fatal: libSDL-1.2.so.0: open failed: No such file or directory
#

VBoxSDL.so should be statically linked against libSDL.a for the Solaris 10 x86 OS.

Same problem in 2.0.4 :-(

Same here. Still doesn't work.

Does anyone have a temporary solution at least to this issue? The recent releases of Solaris 10 do not inlude libSDL-1.2.so.0 anymore.

Any instructions for either - compiling the file into Solaris or patching this? Appreciate any help or suggestions!

libSDL will be part of the package as for the upcoming next release.

Should be fixed in 2.0.6.
