[vbox-dev] Announcement: VirtualBox 6.1.42 released

[Konstantin Vlasov]

Hi,

It seems that the source archive is incomplete. When I tried to build it on 
Windows, I received errors about missing zlib files. I downloaded zlib-1.2.13 
and extracted the missing files into src/libs/zlib-1.2.13/, and only then was 
able to build the project.

I'm not sure about which files are missing, exactly. First it failed because of 
zlib.h; when I added it, zutil.h was needed. So I just put all the header files 
from the zlib root dir (without replacing the existing ones), but then it 
required crc32.c. So I added all the C files too. I guess it's possible to 
narrow down the list of required files, but I didn't have enough free time for 
that.

Also, I noticed that gzguts.h in the bundled zlib is different from that in 
stock zlib. Mostly it has some secfions wrapped in #ifndef IPRT_NO_CRT. So I'm 
not sure if copying the missing files from the stock zlib was the correct way to 
do it...
