Default Virtual Box Guest Additions
Installed VirtualBox from Packages. How do I get Guest Additions?
They are present in the iso for Linux.

In /usr/ports/emulators/virtualbox. Run the following command:

Code:
make config
Select "Guest Additions" and reinstall Virtualbox.

Update your ports and try with "portmaster emulators/virtualbox" to reinstall virtualbox.

Yep, the ports version is 4.53.

Code:
grep ^qt4-gui /usr/ports/INDEX-8 | awk -F\| '{print $1}'
qt4-gui-4.5.3

Virtual box is reinstalled with guest additions. But, it isn't or doesn't seem to be active. On Linux there is a file to run that installs the additions and recomplies the kernel. The linux and solaris files are on the cd image. How do I make the Guest Additions active?

Try to install a guest OS and then select "Guest Additions" from the menu.

Selected Guest additions from the menu and nothing happened. To check if it was a silent action I attempted to use the folder mount feature which becomes active with guest additions and couldn't due to feature not present.

Well, I do tend to over complicate things. That may be the case now.

FWIW. Virtualbox doesn't support FreeBSD Guest Additions. Maybe in the future it will.

Debian is coming out with a BSD kernel. Maybe the wider distribution will result in Virtualbox supporting guest additions.

I suppose the guest additions in config for the build is for FreeBSD being the host and providing the additions to the guests under the FreeBSD host.

Thanks for your timely replies.
