Description (Last modified by frank)

Hello.

In the Solaris x86 version (VirtualBox-2.0.2-36488-SunOS_x86.tar.gz), VBoxSDL.so is dynamically linked against libSDL-1.2.so.0 which is not included in Solaris 10 (u5).

# ldd VBoxSDL.so
        libX11.so =>     /usr/lib/libX11.so
        [ ... ]
        VBoxXPCOM.so =>  /opt/VirtualBox/VBoxXPCOM.so
        libSDL-1.2.so.0 =>       (file not found)
        libstdc++.so.6 =>        /usr/sfw/lib/libstdc++.so.6
        [ ... ]
        libuutil.so.1 =>         /lib/libuutil.so.1
        libgen.so.1 =>   /lib/libgen.so.1
#


starting of VBoxSDL will break with:

# ./VBoxSDL
VBoxSDL: supR3HardenedMainGetTrustedMain: dlopen("/opt/VirtualBox/VBoxSDL.so",)
failed: ld.so.1: VBoxSDL: fatal: libSDL-1.2.so.0: open failed: No such file or directory
#


VBoxSDL.so should be statically linked against libSDL.a for the Solaris 10 x86 OS.

Same problem in 2.0.4 :-(

Same here. Still doesn't work.

Does anyone have a temporary solution at least to this issue? The recent releases of Solaris 10 do not inlude libSDL-1.2.so.0 anymore.

Any instructions for either - compiling the file into Solaris or patching this? Appreciate any help or suggestions!

  • description changed.
  • summary changed from VBoxSDL.so is NOT statically linked against libSDL on Solaris 10 x86 to VBoxSDL.so is NOT statically linked against libSDL on Solaris 10 x86 => Fixed in next version.

libSDL will be part of the package as for the upcoming next release.
