+Guest Additions Installation/Usage Instructions for Haiku
+---------------------------------------------------------
+
+These are temporary instructions for those who want to test the Haiku port
+of the guest additions before a proper package or installer has been created.
+
+
+== You will need: ==
+- The contents of this repository
+- A GCC4-based Haiku installation with development tools installed
+        (Partial GCC2/GCC2h support is present but not yet usable.)
+
+
+== To compile the guest additions: ==
+export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/vbox/source/kBuild/bin/haiku.x86
+./configure --build-headless --disable-python --disable-java
+kmk VBOX_ONLY_ADDITIONS=1 VBOX_WITH_ADDITION_DRIVERS=1 VBOX_USE_GCC4=1 all
+
+
+If the build fails complaining about 'ev' being undefined, edit
+out/haiku.x86/release/revision.kmk and change 'ev' to 9001 - this is due to
+the code for finding the Subversion revision not working with Git repos.
+
+
+== To install: ==
+# core drivers
+mkdir -p ~/config/add-ons/kernel/generic/
+cp out/haiku.x86/release/bin/additions/vboxguest ~/config/add-ons/kernel/generic/
+mkdir -p ~/config/add-ons/kernel/drivers/dev/misc/
+cp out/haiku.x86/release/bin/additions/vboxdev ~/config/add-ons/kernel/drivers/bin/
+ln -s ../../bin/vboxdev ~/config/add-ons/kernel/drivers/dev/misc/
+
+
+# video
+mkdir -p ~/config/add-ons/accelerants/ ~/config/add-ons/kernel/drivers/dev/graphics/
+cp out/haiku.x86/release/bin/additions/vboxvideo ~/config/add-ons/kernel/drivers/bin/
+ln -s ../../bin/vboxvideo ~/config/add-ons/kernel/drivers/dev/graphics/
+cp out/haiku.x86/release/bin/additions/vboxvideo.accelerant /boot/system/add-ons/accelerants/
+
+
+# vboxsf
+mkdir -p ~/config/add-ons/kernel/file_systems/
+cp out/haiku.x86/release/bin/additions/vboxsf ~/config/add-ons/kernel/file_systems/
+
+
+# mouse
+cp out/haiku.x86/release/bin/additions/VBoxMouse ~/config/add-ons/input_server/devices/
+cp out/haiku.x86/release/bin/additions/VBoxMouseFilter ~/config/add-ons/input_server/filters/
+
+
+# services
+mkdir -p /boot/apps/VBoxAdditions/
+cp out/haiku.x86/release/bin/additions/VBoxService /boot/apps/VBoxAdditions/
+cp out/haiku.x86/release/bin/additions/VBoxTray /boot/apps/VBoxAdditions/
+cp out/haiku.x86/release/bin/additions/VBoxControl /boot/apps/VBoxAdditions/
+ln -sf /boot/apps/VBoxAdditions/VBoxService ~/config/boot/launch
+
+
+== To uninstall: ==
+rm -f ~/config/add-ons/input_server/devices/VBoxMouse
+rm -f ~/config/add-ons/kernel/drivers/bin/vboxdev
+rm -f ~/config/add-ons/kernel/drivers/dev/misc/vboxdev
+rm -f ~/config/add-ons/kernel/drivers/bin/vboxvideo
+rm -f ~/config/add-ons/kernel/drivers/dev/graphics/vboxvideo
+rm -f ~/config/add-ons/kernel/file_systems/vboxsf
+rm -f ~/config/add-ons/kernel/generic/vboxguest
+rm -f ~/config/add-ons/accelerants/vboxvideo.accelerant
+rm -rf /boot/apps/VBoxAdditions
+
+
+== 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 /boot/apps/VBoxAdditions/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
