Howdy Guys,

After the announcement from Alexander Eichner about
Virtualbox on FreeBSD, we started the work on a port
for FreeBSD. Now we think that we solved the most
problems and are ready for the first Call for Testing.

Some notes before you can test the port:
Make sure you are using RELENG_7 or higher. You have
to use a fresh portstree with uptodate ports!! Please
read carefully the pkg-messages.

Some known issues / Troubleshooting:
Sometimes the kernel on HEAD coredumps when loading
or unloading the kernel module. A small workaround
to prevent the crash is to not start X, mount proc,
then load the kernel module and start X from the
console. That helped me and some testers, maybe you
too. :P AMD64 should be work in general, it builds
and start. But not right tested at the moment. We
want here also some feedback.

Some Thanks:
First of all we’d like to say many thanks to _ALL_ vbox developers.
Next people are Bernhard Froehlich (aka decke), Beat Gaetzi (beat@),
Dennis Herrmann (dhn@), Pietro Cerutti (gahr@) myself (*gg*),
and _ALL_ who helped and provided feedback.

Happy testing :-)

    If you ever need help with testing FreeBSD as a client OS, lemme know. :) I tried a few times with kernel crashes when the system got under load. 7.x.

    I have problems with make install VirtualBox from ports on FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE amd64.
    Ports are cvsupped.
    Install options selected: QT4, DBUS. All other options unchecked.
    I have reviewed make log for errors but didn’t find any.

    Here is the install error:

    PS: Also when I compile the port with NLS support the install script fails with message that it can’t find /virtualbox-3.0.51r22902/out/freebsd.amd64/release/obj/VirtualBox/qtnls file, and there were no obj/VirtualBox directory as well.
