Guest Additions Installation/Usage Instructions for Haiku
To compile the guest additions:
pkgman install haikuporter haikuporter virtualbox_guest_additions
To install:
pkgman install virtualbox_guest_additions
To uninstall:
pkgman uninstall virtualbox_guest_additions
Usage:
Time synchronization and guest control are handled by VBoxService - you do
not need to do anything special to enable these. See the output of VBoxManage help guestcontrol exec on your host system for guest control instructions.
Clipboard sharing and automatic screen resizing are handled by VBoxTray;
load the replicant by running /bin/VBoxTray. It will
be automatically reloaded whenever Deskbar starts until you quit it by
right-clicking it and choosing Quit.
To mount a shared folder, tell Haiku to mount a null filesystem of type
vboxsf and pass the share name as a parameter:
mount -t vboxsf -p SharedFolderFullOfLolcats /mountpoint
NOTE: at the moment this driver is disabled in the package and only works with GCC4 Haiku when using vboxadditions-4.1.15_dev-x86-gcc4-2011-08-23.zip
