 Replying to [ticket:23080 bm55b@…]:
 > Beginning of a Portfile for Sun's VirtualBox Open Source Edition.
 '''WARNING''', this is incomplete.  Author was playing around with it and
 got stuck.  Original Portfile submission after execution requires reboot
 of machine to fix shell problems.  Believe this is due to the VirtualBox
 build system calling VirtualBox provided 32 bit binaries!!  Hmm...

 > Possibly Sun is building on a 32 bit machine???  Unknown.  Want to use
 this ticket to work with people interested in from source build of
 VirtualBox.  Comments welcome!

 It's not too hard to build VirtualBox 3.2.8 for OS X 10.6 on a 32-bit
 machine. Here's a post explaining it:

 I'll try this portfile to see how well it builds in that environment.
