MacOS Silicon fails to build

[nikole-dunixi]

Problem

I can't seem to be able to build this library. I'm not sure if this is just because I'm on macos arm, or if it's something I haven't set up correctly so any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

System/Environment

MacOS

• Apple M3
• 15.7.1 (24G231)

VirtualBox:

• Version 7.2.4 r170995 (Qt6.8.0 on cocoa)

VirtualBox SDK:

• VirtualBoxSDK-7.2.4-170995.zip
  • I've attached this directly for reproducibility, but I got it with curl

    $ curl -JLO "https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/7.2.4/VirtualBoxSDK-7.2.4-170995.zip"

NIX Flake (Optional):

• I've tested this in both a vanilla environment and in a nix-flake with the exact same outcome but I'll include the flake I've been testing with to potentially save time with reproduction.

Steps to Reproduce/Attempt

I've cloned this repo down and downloaded the zip. I can initialize the project and it appears to 100% compile but it appears to fail linking and I'm not sure why. It might be just a matter of arm64 not being supported, but I am not sure if I'm missing some configuration that should be obvious.

Here are the commands I executed to build:

$ export vboxsdk=~/sdk # <- this is where I extracted the zip directory
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake .. "-DVirtualBoxSDK_DIR=${vboxsdk}/" \
            "-DVirtualBoxSDK_IDL_DIR=${vboxsdk}/bindings/xpcom/idl/" \
            "-DVirtualBoxSDK_INCLUDE_DIR=${vboxsdk}/bindings/xpcom/include/" \
            "-DVirtualBoxSDK_IID_LIB=${vboxsdk}/bindings/xpcom/lib/" \
            "-DVirtualBoxSDK_VERSION=7.2.4" \
            "-DCMAKE_OSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=13.3" \
            "-DVirtualBox_XPCOM_LIB=/Applications/VirtualBox.app/Contents/MacOS/VBoxXPCOM.dylib"
$ cmake --build .

Hmm, I don't have an arm64 mac to investigate or test with, but I wonder if the XPCOM library is x86_64 only...

This might just be DOA for ARM if virtualbox itself doesn't support ARM like you hypothesize. Probably means there's nothing to do until Oracle decides its worth it. Either way, I'm probably on my own until another MacOS user happens to come across this. I'll continue posting content and reference as I find it in the optimistic hope this is useful down the line.

I wonder if the XPCOM library is x86_64 only...

That what I was thinking it might be as well, but I can compile their samples directly which is why I pause before giving up and reached out.

And I can ripgrep for ARM rg --type 'c' -i '(arm|aarch)' | bat

That said I haven't looked deep into the actual code, so it is completely possible this is to refer to the actual Guest systems and not the code itself.

Actually, looking more closely, it looks like you specified a directory for VirtualBoxSDK_IID_LIB, which should instead be a path to the VirtualBox_i.c file in that directory. I believe that file contains the missing symbols from your error message. For reference, the FindVirtualBoxSDK.cmake expects you to only set VirtualBoxSDK_DIR manually, and it should find the rest automatically.

I'm a little surprised CMake doesn't complain about trying to add a directory as a source, but maybe there's a valid use case for that?
