Hi
I am running 10-Release on amd64 and had problems build virtualbox-ose -
it failed with this error
kBuild: Generating
/wrkdirs/usr/ports/emulators/virtualbox-ose/work/VirtualBox-4.3.8/out/freebsd.amd64/release/obj/Runtime/errmsgdata.h
/usr/local/bin/kmk_sed: file
/wrkdirs/usr/ports/emulators/virtualbox-ose/work/VirtualBox-4.3.8/src/VBox/Runtime/common/err/errmsg.sed
line 31: Unmatched [ or [^
I finally tracked this down to the fact that the kBuild port I was
using was built with gcc4.7
I changed the Makefile for kBuild to have
USE_GCC= 4.6
rather than
USE_GCC= any
rebuilt and reinstalled kBuild and then virtualbox-ose built fine
Is this a known problem, and if so can the Makefile for kBuild be
changed to use gcc4.6
Thanks
Anthony
