Comment (by vincent+macports@…):

 The problem is, I can't even reproduce what MacPorts is doing:

 Step 1) unpack[[BR]]
 Step 2) patch -p0 < ../patch-build.diff (and all the others)[[BR]]
 Step 3) manually adjust LocalConfig.kmk: a) VBOX_DEF_MACOSX_VERSION_MIN =
 10.7 b) set VBOX_PATH_APP_* =
 "/Applications/MacPorts/VirtualBox.app/..."[[BR]]
 Step 4) Now, I would start using ./configure, . ./env.sh, kmk[[BR]]
 Which ./configure line is supposed to be correct, assuming a working
 MacPorts installation?[[BR]]


 If I use:

 {{{
 ./configure --with-qt-dir=/opt/local --with-openssl-dir=/opt/local--with-
 gcc=/opt/local/bin/gcc-apple-4.2 --with-g++=/opt/local/bin/g++-apple-4.2
 --disable-hardening --target-arch=amd64 --enable-vde
 }}}
 Compilation stops during linking, complaining that symbols for iconv
 cannot be found (see [https://www.virtualbox.org/pipermail/vbox-
 dev/2011-September/004546.html]):

 If I use:


 {{{
 ./configure --with-qt-dir=/opt/local --with-gcc=/opt/local/bin/gcc-
 apple-4.2 --with-g++=/opt/local/bin/g++-apple-4.2 --disable-hardening
 --target-arch=amd64 --enable-vde
 }}}

 Lion's OpenSSL is used that makes use of deprecated functions. Later on,
 compilation fails.

 If I use:


 {{{
 ./configure --with-qt-dir=/opt/local --with-openssl-dir=/usr/local/ssl
 --with-gcc=/opt/local/bin/gcc-apple-4.2
 --with-g++=/opt/local/bin/g++-apple-4.2 --disable-hardening --target-
 arch=amd64 --enable-vde
 }}}

 I receive the error outlined above (I'm using a current OpenSSL lib
 (default options) installed into /usr/local/ssl), but no complaints about
 libpng.

 If I use:


 {{{
 ./configure --with-qt-dir=/opt/local --with-openssl-dir=/opt/local --with-
 gcc=/opt/local/bin/gcc-apple-4.2 --with-g++=/opt/local/bin/g++-apple-4.2
 --disable-hardening --target-arch=amd64 --enable-vde --enable-vnc
 }}}

 The configuration fails, as the libs for libvncserver cannot be found.

 I would assume that due to the way how VirtualBox handles some flags
 (e.g., setting for OpenSSL modifies directory for libpng as well) that a
 version conflict exists between libraries of the system and MacPorts which
 then may produce the above error.

 I very much appreciate your help and would like to know if any of the
 above configure lines are supposed to be correct.
