I'm having the same issue. Were you able to build version 7.0.4 on Windows 11?

Are you making any progress on building Virtual box 7.0.4?

@guojia1992 Hi, Are you making progress with the compilation process?

[xiaonaiquan]

I have solved this problem and need to add "VBOX_WITH_BLD_RTSIGNTOOL_SIGNING :=" to AutoConfig.kmk

That's awesome!!

Could you try building version 7.0.4 x64 on Windows 11? Also, build the with the guest additions tools as well please.

I heard that only version 7+ can fully function on windows 11...

I'm sorry, I don't have a windows11 system computer, you can try to compile, if there is a problem, you can leave a message here, I will reply you when I see it.

Hello ALL， share my updats：

1、I have successfully build vbox by replacing the source code with version 6.1.30 on Windows 11. Version 6.1.30 don‘t have the issue “No rule to make target VBoxBldProg-libssl.lib”. If someone else encounters the problem “make356-1.sh: Syntax error: "(" unexpected”, use 'mklink' command to make a hard link to replace VS2010 install path with NO SPACES, it should work.
2、I have also successfully build Guest Addition by some other extra operations:
a. add VBOX_ONLY_ADDITIONS := 1 to LocalConfig.kmk
b. Install vs2013 with update 5( below update 4 have compile errors).
c. Install wddk 8.1
d. set PATH_SDK_WINDDK80 := /install-path-to-wddk81 in the file kBuild/sdks/WINDDK80.kmk

e. set PATH_TOOL_VCC120AMD64 := /install-path-to-vs2013/VC in the file kBuild/tools/VCC120AMD64.kmk

PS： There must be a more elegant way to set this two environment variables. :)

For d and e , use 'mklink' command to make a hard link if install path have any spaces.

Good Luck!

You have plan to update this script to build Virtualbox 7.x.x ?

I'm trying, but there's something wrong with compiling.

[arminanton]

Any news on the Virtualbox 7.x.x?

[arminanton]

Seems like someone was able to successfully build it on 7.x.x as well:

No, I tried many times, but failed, virtualbox code error occurred
