Problem installing Virtualbox

rhin · #1 May 8th, 2010, 15:15

Hi, first of all i want to apologise for my english...
well... as the title says i have a problem with virtualbox-ose in freebsd.

1) I have installed freebsd on the computer
2) i updated the freebsd with freebsd-update
3) I updated the ports three using cvsup commands.

After that i thought i was ready to install freebsd, so i went to the directory /usr/ports/emulators/virtualbox-ose and #make config and then #make install

it started to make updates and to compile things....after that an error message appeared

Code:

Undfined reference to `QlistData::detach3()'

***Error code 1
1error
***Error code 2
1error
***Error code 2
1error
***Error code 1
1error

Stop in usr/ports/devel/qt4-linguist.

Well.. if someone knows who can i resolve this problem please help me...i will really appreciate that- or another way to install it... may be i am doing something wrong..
Thanks

Try this:

Code:

portsclean -C
portsnap fetch update
pkg_add -r qt4-linguist
cd /usr/ports/emulators/virtualbox-ose
make install clean

Hi thanks for your answer... unfortunately i use a hard disk from school... and i have access to it only on tuesdays and fridays.. so next class i will try doing what you said.... portsnap fetch update... what is the purpose of this "command line" ?

harishankar · #4 May 11th, 2010, 04:00

portsnap fetch update will keep your local ports tree up to date with the current ports tree.

rhin · #5 May 11th, 2010, 04:37

i am a noob on bsd yet but hadn't i done this with cvsup ¿?

harishankar · #6 May 11th, 2010, 04:47

portsnap or cvsup - either method is fine. Thing about FreeBSD is that it offers a lot of choices.

**wblock@** · #7 May 11th, 2010, 04:52

You can update ports with either csup and a ports-supfile with "tag=.", or use portsnap. Don't do both, pick one and stick with it.

It can also be useful to know which version of FreeBSD you are running.

rhin · #8 May 11th, 2010, 05:18

i am running 8.0 but as i said before,the hard disk id from school and i can¡t use it and practise with bsd every day.
w-block i used cvsup and also i don't remember but i think i did something like a rsync to update some things....
-------------
my teacher told me to follow this steps....freebsd-update... and then update port tree....then i tried to install virtual box and puf-- error

my objective is to install freebsd as a host, and then with virtualbox ose virtualize slacware and windows 3.11 as ghest...i don't know if i will be able to do it but first of all i need to install and run virtualbox properly

tomorrow i will try to do it work..

sk8harddiefast · #9 May 11th, 2010, 13:30

freebsd-update fetch install is for updating your system.From your ports is portsnap fetch update

rhin · #10 May 11th, 2010, 23:10

Hi again sk8harddiefast... now i am at school, i've a question: before doing

Code:

portsclean -C
portsnap fetch update
pkg_add -r qt4-linguist
cd /usr/ports/emulators/virtualbox-ose
make install clean

where should i go..?(directory)... should i go to usr/ports ??

**DutchDaemon** · #11 May 11th, 2010, 23:18

Anywhere you like. They're general commands.

rhin · #12 May 11th, 2010, 23:30

i've done what you said.. but... unfortunately a new error or warning appeared...after using portsnap fetch update.. it says "You must run 'portsnap extract' before runing `portsnap update`

**DutchDaemon** · #13 May 11th, 2010, 23:54

If this is the first time you fetched a ports tree, you'll indeed have to run portsnap extract (to populate /var/db/portsnap/files). You can run a portsnap fetch update right after that to make sure you're up-to-date.

rhin · #14 May 12th, 2010, 01:24

well.. thanks to you i could pass this problem... i reinstalled ports tree and add the package linguist..the installation continued... but then another error

there it says-- "this file was generated using the moc from 4.6.1 it cannot be used with the include files from this version of Qt "---- ~#(the moc has changed too much)"
I apologised for asking for so much help. Thanks to all i hope you can help me

sk8harddiefast · #15 May 12th, 2010, 04:54

Don't apologise.You sould see me the first time!!!!

I had the same problem with moc
The Meta-Object Compiler, moc, is the program that handles Qt's C++ extension.
You have the latest version of qt4,but not the latest version of moc
Try to update moc.

Code:

portsnap fetch update

Now your ports tree is updated with the latest pkg releases.
Go to /usr/ports/devel/automoc4

Code:

make deinstall clean

This will delete moc from your system
Now into the same location (/usr/ports/devel/automoc4)

Code:

make install clean

This will install the latest moc on your system.(because before you made portsnap fetch update.so will deinstall the current version of moc from your system but will install the latest)
Also alternative you can make

Code:

portsnap fetch update
portupgrade -a

This will update your packages with the latest releases
or

Code:

portupgrade -af

this will rebuilt all your system packages from the begginng and update any pkg needs update.
but is also good because this will rebuilt moc,qt4 and all his dependencies if there are.

What you mean with this?
What is the error that appears? If you don't explain exactly what is the problem that makes you stack, the error that you take etc, i cannot imagine what fails to help you

rhin · #20 June 1st, 2010, 16:08

Yes, Virtualbox
mm... i hate i don't have the freebsd a home to know better the error, for what i remember it was an error related to phono sound or sth like this. my teacher told me, well, we are going to try to do it work by another way, downloading and "install" the virtualbox already compiled and updated, i suppuse it is something like downloading the folder already installed in windows,but i don't know how to do it.
you are very kind jaj i was reading your location and you are from greece, i have a friend there.. geia =P

sk8harddiefast · #21 June 1st, 2010, 20:08

Geia

You could try to install freebsd as desktop computer on your home if you want and you can

rhin · #22 June 1st, 2010, 23:48

=P now i am at school, i will try to download it already compiled as i said before, what "command" shoulkd i use ? Thanks

sk8harddiefast · #23 June 2nd, 2010, 00:14

You want to download it from from a specific url?
You can use fecth command.
For example:
fetch http://www.blah,blah,blah and will download it on the folder that you are.
That means that if you run fetch command when you are on /home/user Virtualbox will be downloaded on /home/user

rhin · #24 June 2nd, 2010, 00:21

well i recently made a make on /usr/ports/eumlators/virtualbo-ose and the message error says

Code:

/usr/ports/eumlators/virtualbo-ose/env.sh no such directory or file

and i don't know whats's it. =(

sk8harddiefast · #25 June 2nd, 2010, 00:45

Have you installed the latest gcc compiler? I am not sure but maybe this solve this problem.

Code:

cd /usr/ports/lang/gcc45
make install clean

For example i use dwm for wm but cannot be compiled with systems gcc. Needs a newer!
Install gcc45 compiler and then run again:

Code:

make install clean

on /usr/ports/emulators/virtualbo-ose/
But don't forget before, to run make clean, to delete the work folder (on /usr/ports/emulators/virtualbo-ose/)
Every pkg you compile from ports, even if fails, create a work folder that always must be deleted to recreate it to the next compilation.
If you want to delete all work folders run portsclean -C
You must always do that because even you have fixed the problem, if the work folder will not be deleted, you will see again the error because the work folder already exists and will not recreate it. So will run the work folder with the error!
