[vbox-dev] Build vboxguest.ko for android-x86 guest

[DRACULAX]

Hi Frank &Klaus,
I just done this. Android is based on Linux so I get the kernel source of my
running android-x86,
and put the vbox guest source into as a external module. Building is ok and
I try the sharefolder&control with 
the output vboxguest.ko/vboxsf.ko, it work fine!
I think your team should put the Android system into supported guest system
list.
Now I am trying the other hgcm feature, any progress will be shared to this
mail group,
thanks

 best regards,

DRACULAX

there is no support for compiling the VirtualBox guest kernel modules in
Android, we never tried this. Actually I don't know if it's possible to
compile kernel modules in Android at all, you would need admin permissions
and as far as I know that might be complicated with Android.

Apart from this Android is related to Linux so the code might work but I
assume that adaptions are required. As I said, we never tried this so I
cannot really help here, sorry.

Kind regards,

Frank
