Bug#406992: virtualbox FTBFS

[Andreas Beckmann <debian@abeckmann.de>]

Hi all,

after several more tries, I finally could compile virtualbox (in a 
pbuilder sid i386 environment).

The following changes were neccessary
* drop Build-Depends: gcc-3.4, g++-3.4
* drop 01-compiler.dpatch, 02-kernel.dpatch
* add a Depends: kbuild to virtualbox-source

Concerning the kernel headers: It looks like the kernel headers of the 
currently running kernel is needed. Using a different set, e.g. 
2.6.18-4-686 or 2.6.21-2-k7 instead of the running 2.6.21-2-k7-686 
results in some undefined symbols (sorry, can't tell which, didn't save 
a log).
So I did the following:
* add Build-Depends: linux-header-2.6-all
and in debian/rules I set
* ./configure --with-linux=/usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r`
Unfortunetly, the requires the buildds to run the latest sid kernel in 
order to be able to compile virtualbox.

I also tried to compile virtualbox from the svn trunk: 
03-configure.dpatch needed to be rediffed, but afterwards everything 
went without problems.


And now: I'm gonna try it :-)
