When installing on Solaris 11.4 beta I get a FAILED message :

Unfortunately while trying to create a VM guest , the host panics:

Is this a known issue please ? I could try a test build ...

Thank you David

VirtualBox-5.2.97-SunOS-amd64-r124236.pkg installs without error but the host is still panic'ing when lauching a guest vm.

I'm trying to recompile the latest SVN source on Oracle 11.4. There is a GCC 7.3. There is no libIDL but fortunately this compiles easily on solaris 11.4. Checking for libIDL: found version 0.8.14, OK. It now seems I need QT5, I compiled Qt-4.8.7 that went relatively well, I'll give QT5 a try although that I thought based on the Solaris build instructions that QT4 was needed.

I'll try first to manually set QTDIR to the 4.8.7; using ./configure --disable-hardening --disable-sdl --disable-qt configures

when building it now fails on

# include <sys/old_procfs.h>

in src/VBox/Runtime/r3/solaris/coredumper-solaris.cpp

[dstes]

it seems it is not possible to avoid old_procfs due to

prpsinfo_t ProcInfoOld; /< Process info. Older version (for GDB compat.) */

and because old_procfs.h is gone in sol11.4 that seems to be a show stopper
