OSE Build Failure => Fixed in 1.5.6

Build from the 1.5.0 OSE tarball fails with the following error:

kmk.exe[3]: Leaving directory `C:/build/VirtualBox-1.5.0_OSE/src/VBox/Frontends'

kmk.exe[3]: Entering directory `C:/build/VirtualBox-1.5.0_OSE/src/VBox/Installer

It appears that the Installer directory only has contents for Linux. Making the following change in Config.kmk gets the build past this error.

Change

# build the installer
VBOX_WITH_INSTALLER = 1

to

# build the installer
ifeq ($(BUILD_TARGET),linux)
 VBOX_WITH_INSTALLER = 1
endif

Thanks. Fixed it. Wait for the next sync.

This problem occurs with the VirtualBox OSE 1.5.4 release tarball also.

Correct, this was only fixed in SVN-HEAD. Backported the fix to 1.5.
