[vbox-dev] VirtualBox 3.0.14 OSE fails to build

[Benjamin Gilbert]

When attempting to build VirtualBox OSE from the 3.0.14 tarball, I get:

/home/bgilbert/t/VirtualBox-3.0.14_OSE/src/VBox/Frontends/VirtualBox/src/VBoxAboutDlg.cpp: In member function ‘virtual void VBoxAboutDlg::retranslateUi()’:
/home/bgilbert/t/VirtualBox-3.0.14_OSE/src/VBox/Frontends/VirtualBox/src/VBoxAboutDlg.cpp:69: error: expected primary-expression before ‘(’ token
/home/bgilbert/t/VirtualBox-3.0.14_OSE/src/VBox/Frontends/VirtualBox/src/VBoxAboutDlg.cpp:69: error: expected ‘)’ before ‘VBOX_C_YEAR’
kmk[2]: *** [/home/bgilbert/t/VirtualBox-3.0.14_OSE/out/linux.amd64/release/obj/VirtualBox/src/VBoxAboutDlg.o] Error 1

The patch below, taken from 3.1.4, fixes it.
