That +means all binaries will be run suid root, which is the default +behaviour of upstream packages. However, you are still able +to disable this by passing HARDENING=no to the script. + +You have to create a vboxusers group, e.g. "groupadd -g 215 vboxusers" +and make your user a member of that group. + +To compile virtualbox without the Qt4 GUI pass QT4=no to the script. + +To enable the webservice pass WEBSERVICE=yes to the script. This adds gsoap +to the list of required dependencies. + +If you want to attach VirtualBox to a VDE network you will need vde2. + +VirtualBox requires acpica, and the virtualbox-kernel package is needed at +runtime. See README.SLACKWARE for some setup notes. + +NOTE: This will not build on a stock x86_64 system. -- cgit v1.2.3
