[vbox-dev] Compiling on Snow Leopard

[Christian Pötzsch]

Hi Nadav,

the install instruction are correct. Even if Snow Leopard claims to be
fully 64Bit, the kernel isn't it most of the time. VirtualBox needs a
kernel driver to work correctly, so VirtualBox have to be compiled like
the current running kernel. You can verify the current version running
by uname -m. Also I suppose you didn't want to use the Qt version from
MacPorts, cause this is the X11 one and thats not supported by us. Use
the one from the Nokia web site.
