ISTR, Paul Smedley did a test build, but I can't find a link to it at the
moment.

It dawned on me that you are looking for VirtualBox as an OS/2 host,
whereas the VirtualBox page speaks of OS/2 as a guest. Please pardon my
goof.

If you made another post with a goof in it then it hasn't turned up here yet. I
was indeed thinking about running Virtualbox as a host on OS/2 to boot other
o/s's as my most powerful hardware runs OS/2.
I have tried to run OS/2 as a VM under Virtualbox on Suse Linux but it stalled
when loading various drivers and I eventually gave up. I suspect it was because
that the machine I was running it on was a Pentium M and that lacks the hardware
virtualisation that I saw was required to boot OS/2 under VB.

I'm pretty sure it was Paul Smedley who released a test version of the
binaries in June. I don't recall where I got it from on his site, but
I have never seen any mention of an update. There was no readme or
docs and I could never figure out how to get it to work, but then the
best machine I have (other than my kids MBPs) is a Pentium M as well
so maybe that is why I could never get it to work. Guess I'm stuck
with VPC/2. I did hear recently that someone at Innotek was working
on an OS/2 host just for self enjoyment, but you might want to contact
Paul and ask him if he has done any more on it. His website is
http://smedley.info/os2ports/index.php No mention of VB there, but
there is a contact page.

I see that. But I think it must be an obsolete one that they haven't
updated, because the mention of OS/2 on their table of supported guests
seems to claim that OS/2 support is complete. Anyway, I'm not going to
jump into it until I have a clear idea of what it will or will not do.
And I won't get to the point of installing it until December at the
earliest.

With Knut's help, I've resolved this and have a binary based on

Not being very familiar with VirtualBox as a long time VirtualPC user - am
I right that it's of no use to try to run it on an old Athlon XP 3000+
system which does not have anything like multiple cores, hyperthreading or
hardware virtualization capabilities?

i'm always still looking for a compiled version and read all
news-letters about this topic.
By my self i also download the Vbox.tar.bz2 and try to compile, but
without success.
So it would be very nice if you could send me those binary version for
testing.
My system is a DELL E521 AMD 64X2 5600+ with 2GB-Ram and the system is
eCS2.0rc1 .

why not?
I'm using it on an server with Pentium IV/2,8GHz on Linux and on a
Pentium M/1,6Gz on Linux and also on my CoreDuo/2GHz on Windows and
Linux and it works really good on all systems!
But OS/2 as guest works ONLY on the last machine, because Intel-VT or
AMD-V hardware-virtualization is a must - Windows XP as guest works well
without that!

I fully second that. I installed Windows 2000 testwise on the 1.4.0
build and this also worked quite well here (no net however, as others
have noted before).
My machine is a AthlonXP 3000+ and the vm speed is absolutely comparable
with VPC/2, harddisk access eventually being a bit faster, screen
rendering being a bit slower.
Kind regards,

Herwig, I'm confused - are you running the 1.4.0 build on eCS or OS/2? I have
a dual Opteron here and thought I needed a recent Intel CPU to run
VirtualBox.
Also, I gave Paul's latest build a try and get the same error others are
reporting, shich I attributed to my CPUs being rather old AMDs:
"Failed to create the VirtualBox COM object. The application will now
terminate"
Callee RC: 0xB0040154
(The zeros could be Ds in fact - not sure with the font they are using)

I suspect that Paul's zip file may be incomplete or something. I get the same
error and have been trying to compile my own copy for a few days without success
(currently stuck on a bunch of unresolved external references). On the copy I
have on Linux there is a components subdirectory that contains some shared
libraries and a couple of xpt files - am hoping that when I get mine to build I
can copy over the bits needed to get Paul's to work.
It's 0x80040154 and shows up mainly as an installation error on google - though
on all the other reports I found it was on Vista or Linux.

I'm guessing these are Qt symbols - do you have Qt installed from my
build environment?
Do you have a localconfig.kmk in the vbox directory that contains
somethink like the following?
VBOX_PATH_QT = /dev/qt/trunk
LIB_QT = $(VBOX_PATH_QT)/lib/psqt.lib
VBOX_DLL_QT = $(VBOX_PATH_QT)/bin/psqt.dll

Looks like they are indeed QT symbols and there are pages and pages of them :-)

I didn't, I had a localenvironment.kmk but the symptoms remain the same after
renaming it.
I do have your QT in /dev/qt/trunk but I guess I'm missing something to make it
look there.
The g++ command that fails will work if I hand edit the rsp file and add the
psqt.lib/dll files into there myself (but kmk immediately removes that and blows
up again so not much use).
LIBRARY_PATH has f:/dev/qt/trunk/lib in it which is where I thought it was
looking but perhaps not?

Those are Qt symbols....

Where is your localconfig.kmk located?
I checkout source from u:\dev\virtualbox
localconfig.kmk is in u:\dev\virtualbox\vbox

(K7 family, Barton core). From what I have read I wont be able to use
OS/2-guests because my CPU does not have the Vanderbilt/Pacifica
extensions found in recent Intel/AMD CPUs.

Did the QT actually work? I tried with wl-hll-r1.zip some time ago and
even though the build finished it turned out some symbols in the DLL
were junk.
I'll try updating QT and trying again and if it does not work I'll get
Paul's build

I just have a f:\vbox directory that is the equivalent of your
\dev\virtualbox\vbox. My localconfig.kmk is in \vbox. I've obviously got
something wrong in my environment variables somewhere but I duuno where. Will
continue to experiment.

I did two things and it worked. First I ran ./configure and it spat out an error
message about unable to determine OS and finished - not unreasonably when you
read the script ;-) What it did do though was write an empty AutoConfig.kmk so I
copied localconfig.kmk into that and reran the compile and it worked.

One of my presentations at Warpstock 2007 will be on eCS in virtual
machines. I installed Virtual PC 2007, Parallels, SVISTA 2004, and
Virtual Box to WinXP on my T42 since WinXP was the only platform that
ran all of them. My Virtual Box experience was not very good.

this is a known problem, use Warp 3, Warp 4, MCP1/2/2R or ACP1/2/2R and
be happy!
Or make an eCS-install somewhere else (I made it in VPC/2), zip it, boot
with CD to a commandline, partition, format and unpack the zip. Then
even eCS will run in VBox!

Hi Chuck...
I succeeded in installing eCS on virtual box (1.5) by cloning a real hardware
installation
- install eCS on any volume selecting gengradd as video driver
- zip the whole volume:
X:
CD\
zip -rq9ST$ eCS.zip * -x X:\OS2\SYSTEM\SWAPPER.DAT
- use Bootable to create a bootable command line CD-ISO including unzip.exe, lvm.exe,
sysinstx.exe and a zip of the eCS installation
- mount the ISO in a virtual box machine and boot it
- create a volume with the appropriate drive letter in the virtual box hard drive
- format the voume
- unzip the eCS installation archive
- run sysinstx to install the system files in the proper location
- unmount the CD-ISO
- reboot
- install the eCS additions

Or get somebody fix that resource.sys. It hangs sometimes when I try to
install on my (real) computer as well. And this piece of eCS is available for
change, I suppose.
