Sorry, I didn't get what it shows?

Error is not displayed... it's just output of the command performed by make due to KBUILD_VERBOSE=1.
Could you please provide some more details what should I look at?

So apparently you are trying to manually build the entire OSE edition from the source code?
Are the attached logs build complete or only a subset? What exactly are you doing?
WHat is the output of 'uname -r' and what is the content of 'ls /usr/src/' and 'ls /lib/modules' please?
You say you are trying to install "just build modules" but as you can see from the error message that cannot be the case and the build cannot have been done successful.
comment:4 by , 5 years ago
Also which Linux distro is that and which Virtualbox package you have installed for this OSE edition from where? Also you are apparently building a custom kernel /lib/modules/5.7.6-z1 ?

Yes, I am.

I'm using Exherbo.

You say you are trying to install "just build modules" but as you can see from the error message that cannot be the case and the build cannot have been done successful.
What I see is a bunch of *.ko files after make KERN_VER=5.7.6-z2 -j8 all and echo $? right after make shows 0. The error from the description happened on make KERN_VER=5.7.6-z2 install...
Are the attached logs build complete or only a subset?
They are complete. The first one (vbox-build.log) is a result of make KBUILD_VERBOSE=1 KERN_VER=5.7.6-z2 -j8 all, the latter is the install target w/ the same Make variables.

please set 'export DEBUG=1' in your environment and re-run the build again. That should give us the following output from the build scripts:
230 # debug - show guesses. 231 ifdef DEBUG 232 ifndef VBOX_KERN_QUIET 233 $(warning dbg: INSTALL_MOD_PATH = $(INSTALL_MOD_PATH)) 234 $(warning dbg: INSTALL_MOD_DIR = $(INSTALL_MOD_DIR)) 235 $(warning dbg: KERN_DIR = $(KERN_DIR)) 236 $(warning dbg: KERN_INCL = $(KERN_INCL)) 237 $(warning dbg: KERN_VERSION = $(KERN_VERSION)) 238 $(warning dbg: MODULE_DIR = $(MODULE_DIR)) 239 $(warning dbg: VBOX_MODULE_SRC_DIR = $(VBOX_MODULE_SRC_DIR)) 240 endif 241 endif

thanks now we have the red herring, from your output:
39258710 0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jun 30 16:47 ./vboxnetflt/Module.symvers
That exported symbol table file is empty!
this is why it fails and now I can reproduce it as well locally with the source code from the regular installed !Virtualbox package:

This does not happen if you run:
# make clean # make DEBUG=1 KBUILD_VERBOSE=1 # make DEBUG=1 KBUILD_VERBOSE=1 install
Can you test this in your environment please?

Replying to exher:

Yes, it fails w/ the given error.
Just to clarify, you still see the failure when instead of just going "make DEBUG=1 KBUILD_VERBOSE=1 install" you use this 3 step sequence:
# make clean # make DEBUG=1 KBUILD_VERBOSE=1 # make DEBUG=1 KBUILD_VERBOSE=1 install

comment:14 by , 5 years ago
can you please try applying the following patch to the corresponding Makefile in your /usr/src/virtualbox-ose-6.1.10 location:
root@minibox:/usr/src/vboxhost-6.1.10# diff -c Makefile.orig Makefile *** Makefile.orig 2020-07-01 08:25:18.028584534 +0200 --- Makefile 2020-07-01 17:48:18.808902674 +0200 *************** *** 95,106 **** --- 95,115 ---- install: @$(MAKE) KBUILD_VERBOSE=$(KBUILD_VERBOSE) -C vboxdrv install @if [ -d vboxnetflt ]; then \ + if [ -f vboxdrv/Module.symvers ]; then \ + cp vboxdrv/Module.symvers vboxnetflt; \ + fi; \ $(MAKE) KBUILD_VERBOSE=$(KBUILD_VERBOSE) -C vboxnetflt install; \ fi @if [ -d vboxnetadp ]; then \ + if [ -f vboxdrv/Module.symvers ]; then \ + cp vboxdrv/Module.symvers vboxnetadp; \ + fi; \ $(MAKE) KBUILD_VERBOSE=$(KBUILD_VERBOSE) -C vboxnetadp install; \ fi @if [ -d vboxpci ]; then \ + if [ -f vboxdrv/Module.symvers ]; then \ + cp vboxdrv/Module.symvers vboxpci; \ + fi; \ $(MAKE) KBUILD_VERBOSE=$(KBUILD_VERBOSE) -C vboxpci install; \ fi
then run again in /usr/src/virtualbox-ose-6.1.10:
#make clean #make install
comment:15 by , 5 years ago
It doesn't help. After make install the vboxnetflt/Module.symvers become empty... meaning that smth overwrites it during install...
PS. Please attach any further patches, so I can download 'em easily.

So with the fix attached I cannot reproduce the failure anymore.
I also checked with OpenSuse Tumbleweed which is at 5.7.5 at the moment and their distro Virtualbox package (which has a similar fix applied as I did) and cannot reproduce the problem there either.
So in order to make any more progress specifically for you I'd suggest:
1) attach the makefile src/VBox/HostDrivers/linux/Makefile
to this bug report to see what state it is in, that is in your case /usr/src/virtualbox-ose-6.1.10/Makefile
2) provide a reproducable test case, at best with the offical
Virtualbox packages installed
3) talk to whoever is building the distro packages for your OSE
version of Virtualbox
comment:17 by , 5 years ago
also remind you, for reproducing the issue use the sequence of:
# make # make install
running "make install" without running the build first is not going to work properly.
comment:18 by , 5 years ago
As I've already reported the patch doesn't help... Yes, I did exactly the specified commands.
comment:19 by , 5 years ago
I'm using Exherbo Linux (and this package https://gitlab.exherbo.org/living-in-exherbo/exform/-/blob/master/packages/app-virtualization/virtualbox-ose/virtualbox-ose.exlib) to build VirtualBox from sources. The executables are built fine. The package also installs the kernel module sources (Exherbo does not have its way to build Linux kernel, it's completely the responsibility of the user to built whatever he needs/wants). And AFAIK there are no modifications to that modules has done (it is exactly that was packed into the official tarball).
