VBox Guest Additions: Failed Building Kernel Modules for 3.10.0-1062.el7.x86_64.

[DonC]

When building the VirtualBox Guest Additions kernel modules (yum update process) saying to look into the /var/log/vboxadd-setup.log. I have included it in this report.

You could have included the whole file as is, it's only 3 lines:

Building the main Guest Additions 6.0.10 module for kernel 4.14.35-1902.4.8.el7uek.x86_64.
Building the shared folder support module.
Building the graphics driver module.

I don't see anything wrong in there, do you?

[DonC]

Interesting. I will try and re-create it and see what happens. Maybe just doing the add to the Linux kernel will have the same issue.

[DonC]

Okay - It was easier to recreate than expected. Here is what I did...

[root@linux71db ~]# /sbin/rcvboxadd quicksetup 3.10.0-1062.el7.x86_64
VirtualBox Guest Additions: Building the modules for kernel 
3.10.0-1062.el7.x86_64.

went wrong
[root@linux71db ~]# 

I have included the log file and it does have the errors this time. At the top og the file, it is testing for xxx but I have those files:

echo >&2;							\
echo >&2 "  ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid.";		\
echo >&2 "         include/generated/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing.";\
echo >&2 "         Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it.";	\
echo >&2 ;							\

Not so sure what the rest of the errors mean.

[DonC]

File with errors this time - I hope

[ggouaillardet]

Same error for me.

It occured on VirtualBox 6.0.12 when I updated to CentOS 7 kernel 3.10.0-1062.el7.x86_64
