[vbox-dev] Build from todays SVN sync fails

[Perry Halbert]

Wow. It's always something huh?  I do have the gcc 4.9 base but nothing 
else available at this point.  Guess it's time to build yet another 
special package. ( I don't like waiting for them to catch up )  No 
problem, I can build it and see how it goes.  Thanks for the clarification.
