10. Virtualization

created : 2010-02-23   updated : 2010-02-23
 

Introduction

Recalled that I have been building the BLFS system inside virtual box.  Why would I want virtualization inside virtualization ?
The rationale behind is that a virtual machine can become a physical one through the process of 'realization'.  One of the technique has been shown in the page BLFS->USB boot.
 
This section will describe the process of compiling VirtualBox inside BLFS.

Requirements

 
GCC 3.3.3 or later (except for the GCC 4.0.x series). GCC 4.4.1 is recommended.
 
Check version :
gcc --version | head -n1
 
Result :
gcc (GCC) 4.4.1
 
 
as86 (real mode assembler, usually part of the dev86 or bin86 package.)
 
Check version :
as -version | head -n 1

Result :
GNU assembler (GNU Binutils) 2.19.1
bcc (Bruce Evans C Compiler; often part of the dev86 package)
Check version :
bcc
 
Result :
bash: bcc: command not found
Package Dev86 is required.  ref : http://cblfs.cross-lfs.org/index.php/Dev86
 
Get source :
 
Unpack :
tar xvf Dev86src-0.16.17.tar.gz
cd dev86-0.16.17

Build and install :
time {
patch -Np1 -i ../dev86-0.16.17-noelks-1.patch &&
make &&
make install ;
} 2>&1 | tee log.txt
 
 
real    3m27.864s
user    0m0.356s

Check again :
bcc -v 2>&1 | head -n 1
 
Result :
bcc: version 0.16.17
 
 
IASL (Intel ACPI compiler)
 
Check version :
 
iasl
 
Result :
bash: iasl: command not found
 
 
Unpack :
tar xvf acpica-unix-20100121.tar.gz
cd acpica-unix-20100121/compiler

Create sym link :
 
ln -v -sfn qt-4.4.3 /opt/qt
 
VirtualBox assumes qt4 can be found in /usr/lib/qt4 
ln -v -sfn /opt/qt-4.4.3 /usr/lib/qt4
 
update /etc/ld.so.conf and /etc/man_db.conf
cat >> /etc/ld.so.conf << "EOF" &&
# Begin qt addition to /etc/ld.so.conf
 
/opt/qt/lib
 
# End qt addition
EOF
ldconfig &&
cat >> /etc/man_db.conf << "EOF"
# Begin qt addition to man_db.conf
 
MANDATORY_MANPATH /opt/qt/doc/man
 
# End qt addition to man_db.conf
EOF
