Hi Jim,
I was curious, so tried to test on *installed* tree (5.0.0_RC1):
$ pfexec bash
$ cd /opt/VirtualBox
$ ls -la vboxconfig.sh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 0 2 45K Jun 1 20:15 vboxconfig.sh*
$ gpatch -p1 < vboxconfig.sh.patch
can't find file to patch at input line 10
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:

|there is an ability to force the logic by 'touch /etc/vboxinst_vboxusb'

I am not sure if that is supposed to be so, just FYI.
Thank you and very best regards.

Hello all,
Earlier in March I posted a patch that fixes installation of VirtualBox on
non-Oracle Solaris hosts (e.g. OpenIndiana and OmniOS). Lest it be lost in the
list archives, I moved the patch (now licensed as GPLv2 to match VirtualBox
licensing) and an accompanying README to GitHub:
https://github.com/jimklimov/vboxconfig_sh
Feel free to add the changes into the distributions (if you maintain
packages/repositories), so such hackery won't be needed ;)
Thanks,
Jim Klimov

Hello all,
Earlier this month I posted to the VirtualBox lists my patch for vboxconfig.sh
to better support
installation on non-Sun/Oracle Solaris-like hosts, tested on OI (Hipster) and
OmniOS (bloody).
It may support SXCE as well (has the code, but was not practically tested
lately) since there are
aspects where SXCE was like Solaris 10 (SVR4 packaging) and yet more advanced
than that
(CrossBow, etc.).
Unfortunately, so far the post fell through the cracks... so for possible
integration into packages
provided by the illumos distributions (e.g. to help the work done by Thomas
Gouverneur to turn
SVR releases into IPS, or to support proper GPL-source builds of VirtualBox),
I'd like to repost
these fixes here too. Feel free to build on them, to make VB updates
hiccup-less ;)
In my practice, it sufficed to "pkgtrans" the Oracle VB package into a
directory, patch the script
"vboxconfig.sh" provided in the installation image, update the "pkgmap" with
new values for
size and checksum of the changed file, (run "pkgrm" to remove an obsoleted
installation) and
"pkgadd" to install the package from the directory.

Hello all,
I submit a patch which should simplify installation of modern VirtualBox on some
non-Oracle derivate distributions of Solaris which are known to host VirtualBox
just fine. Most of the patch deals with "proper" detection of major and minor OS
version numbers on those distributions. Also there is now a touchable filename
to enforce installation of USB filters and corresponding UNIX group accounts,
as a workaround for further distros not detected as supported by even new code.
I submit this patch under the terms of MIT license.
This was last tested with VirtualBox 4.3.24 and OpenIndiana Hipster and OmniOS
Bloody, all updated today to the most current states available.
Note this was not yet tested in practice with SXCE although snippets were
developed
that should work there. I don't expect there are many of those installations
left beside my
closet, but those are all pleased with old VBox versions for now... ain't
broke, you know ;)
Hope this helps,
// Jim Klimov
