= Guest Additions Installation/Usage Instructions for Haiku =



== To compile the guest additions: ==
{{{
#!div style="font-size: 90%"
  {{{#!bash
  haikuporter virtualbox_guest_additions
  }}}
}}}


== To install: ==

{{{
#!div style="font-size: 90%"
  {{{#!bash
pkgman install virtualbox_guest_additions
  }}}
}}}

== To uninstall: ==
{{{
#!div style="font-size: 90%"
  {{{#!bash
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:

{{{
#!div style="font-size: 90%"
  {{{#!sh
mount -t vboxsf -p SharedFolderFullOfLolcats /mountpoint
  }}}
}}}
