virtualbox: 4.2.16 build fails on Snow Leopard

[pixilla (Bradley Giesbrecht)]

virtualbox @4.2.4_0+vde2+vnc was the last version that built on Snow Leopard.

Link to the Snow Leopard buildbots failed build ​18698 of virtualbox r107918.

Request for comments.

With the attached patch virtualbox 4.2.16 installs on Snow Leopard and my vm's appear to work correctly. I have not tested this patch on other versions of Mac OS.

The attached patch removes the src/libs/xpcom18a4/Config.kmk patch from patch-build.diff.

I, too, am unable to build virtualbox on Snow Leopard, but this includes @4.0 and @3.0. Here is an attempt to build @4.2.16:

  +++ WARNING +++ WARNING +++ WARNING +++ WARNING +++ WARNING +++ WARNING +++
  Hardening is enabled which means that the VBox binaries will not run from
  the binary directory. The binaries have to be installed suid root and some
  more prerequisites have to be fulfilled which is normally done by installing
  the final package. For development, the hardening feature can be disabled
  by specifying the --disable-hardening parameter. Please never disable that
  feature for the final distribution!
