virtualbox [vboxwebsrv] fails to build with latest versions of gsoap on Gentoo and Arch Linux. kmk_builtin_mv shows options help. kmk error 64

build.log on Gentoo Linux

From the build log I assume you used gSOAP 2.8.13 to build VirtualBox. At the moment I can only test gSOAP 2.8.12 (not that old) and VirtualBox builds fine against this version. I tested VBox 4.2.12 of course and not VBox 4.2.6 (as shown in the log file).

I tested VBox 4.2.14 with gsoap 2.8.15 (on Slackware) and it still breaks, but can confirm that 2.8.12 works fine.

I got this problem , with Fedora rawhide (future F21)

The quick fix is to disable 697 in src/VBox/Main/webservice/Makefile.kmk.

Replying to frank:

The quick fix is to disable 697 in src/VBox/Main/webservice/Makefile.kmk.

Another quick fix is adding -z1 option to soapcpp2 command in there. FYI, these files are deprecated from gSOAP 2.8.13.

Changelog:  http://www.cs.fsu.edu/~engelen/changelog.html
Options:  http://www.cs.fsu.edu/~engelen/soapdoc2.html#tth_sEc9.1

However, there is no point in checking soapcpp2 version number just to generate the deprecated files, I believe.

[jkim]

A patch to ignore deprecated header files.

Hi, I found the patch above in Debian and fix webservices build, I tested with Fedora 21, 22, 23 and rawhide ( gsoap-2.8.16 to gsoap-2.8.22 )

Please apply it , Thanks.
