[vbox-dev] Type conversion error while building VBox OSE on Windows

Thu Jul 17 18:43:42 GMT 2008

Exactly same errors occured to me, and I had to comment these 2 lines off in 
USBControllerImpl.cpp

BEGIN_COM_MAP(USBDeviceFilter)
//COM_INTERFACE_ENTRY(ISupportErrorInfo)
//COM_INTERFACE_ENTRY(IUSBDeviceFilter)
END_COM_MAP()

There will be a few more errors along the way, in my case, I had to modify WIN32_MC inside the mouse additions in order to build.

Hello,

  I have tried to carefully follow the build instructions located at:

http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Windows%20build%20instructions

I have Visual C++, the Platform SDK, the DDK installed to the default
locations; MingW, SDL, qtwin, xerces, xalan, and zlib installed on the e:
partition of my hard drive.

E:\dev>dir
 Volume in drive E has no label.
 Volume Serial Number is 5E33-9415

 Directory of E:\dev

07/09/2008  03:47 PM    <DIR>          ..

               9 Dir(s)  17,653,959,680 bytes free

I opened the Visual Studio Command Prompt, changed directory to
e:\dev\VirtualBox-1.6.2, and ran:

cscript confibure.vbs

This failed, initially, saying it couldn't find mingw, and to use the
--with-mingw=<path>, so I resolved that, then resolved similar problems
for the other library dependencies; curiously, the configure script never
asked me for zlib, but I think that may be because the VirtualBox OSE
source tree includes zlib right in the source tree.

Anyhow, the configure script finally appeared to finish successfully. I
ran env.bat, then kmk -j3.

It ran for awhile, then eventually failed. Below is a paste of the console
output starting a line or two before the error to hopefully give you the
context you need to understand the errors (sorry if this comes out kind of
ugly):
