The most complex problems were from dealing with switches reverted in
the meantime (gcc5, gmp6, ncurses6).
It's likely that darwin is (still) broken nontrivially.
VirtualBox had support for DBUS even in version 4.x, but it appears that
nothing in our VM test triggered it to load, thus I didn't notice the
runtime error:
rtldrNativeLoad: dlopen('libdbus-1.so.3', RTLD_NOW | RTLD_LOCAL) failed:
libdbus-1.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such
file or directory
The upstream commits I think are responsible for this to come to surface
are _probably_ (did I ever mention that I love SVN? *cough*) one of
these:

Regression introduced in 7ffb1f3bde.
Also added a small notice so that this hopefully won't happen with
future updates.

Within fractions* of a second, the beautifully crafted history and
branching mechanisms of SVN found out the exact revision which caused
this to be visible in version 5.x but not in version 4.x:
https://www.virtualbox.org/changeset?old_path=%2Fvbox%2Ftrunk&old=30933&new_path=%2Fvbox%2Ftrunk&new=30934
Also note the very short URL and the informative changeset message which
shows you exactly what was the issue, I think.
Be warned however, it may contain traces of history amnesia, revision
epilepsy and other related diseases.
As for the issue itself: This was very much broken in 4.x as well, but
it didn't show an error message in the UI. The PulseAudio library is
loaded at runtime and it's not able to do that unless it's in
LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
Now, we're doing the same as with the ALSA libraries: We're hardcoding
the path to the shared object file in patchPhase.
Thanks to @devhell for reporting and testing.

them, please have a look at https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Changelog.
We also needed to drop the hunk about NATNetworkServiceRunner.cpp in the
hardened.patch, because the file was unused and thus has been removed
from upstream in r54821:

Not really changes anything in functionality, but makes it easier to
change the build type to "debug", for example.
Signed-off-by: aszlig <aszlig@redmoonstudios.org>
Just accidentally found this while debugging and it's needed for
fetching a few interface details, not sure however whether because of
this anything has been broken so far.

Instead of coping it to $out and later deleting it, we now exclude the
src directory during copy. Also, we no longer cd into the release
directory during installPhase, which should make sure that we are
constantly in $sourceRoot.

We divert to the $out/share/virtualbox directory only if we have
hardening enabled, so let's put the extension pack into
$out/libexec/virtualbox instead if we're compiling without hardening.
Signed-off-by: aszlig <aszlig@redmoonstudios.org>
Yes, this is only on the package level, so it's possible to use
VirtualBox for example installed by nix-env -i, which of course doesn't
have access to the functionality provided by the various VirtualBox
kernel modules.

With hardening, we need to go a bit further rather than just allowing
/nix/store being world-writable. We now use fakeroot to make sure the
VBoxExtPackHelperApp won't moan that the files are not owned by root.
They are, but only outside of the chrooted build process.
Another issue with using fakeroot is that it doesn't seem to cope well
with arguments that contain spaces. That's why I've piped the call into
${stdenv.shell}.
Now, the really gory and confusing part is the introduction of
VBOX_PATH_APP_PRIVATE_ARCH_TOP and the change of VBOX_PATH_APP_PRIVATE.
The VBOX_PATH_APP_PRIVATE_ARCH is *only* for modules and is checked by
the hardened implementation against whether things like VMMR0.r0 or
VBoxVMM.so reside in that directory. As a side note: I admit that the
whole libexec directory is quite polluted with stuff that shouldn't be
there, but for now we've broken enough things and will tear apart the
whole structure at some day in the future[TM].
For the confusing part we have VBOX_PATH_APP_PRIVATE_ARCH_TOP, which
_should_ be the same as VBOX_PATH_APP_PRIVATE_ARCH but unfortunately,
the hardened implementation is checking against this directory (in
IsValidBaseDir) for the extension pack(why!?).
Of course, we could put even that into the libexec directory, somewhat
similar as the official package, but after all, let's at least *try* to
separate things.
Signed-off-by: aszlig <aszlig@redmoonstudios.org>
VirtualBox with hardening support requires the main binaries to be
setuid root. Using VBOX_WITH_RUNPATH, we ensure that the RPATHs are
pointing to the libexec directory and we also need to unset
VBOX_WITH_ORIGIN to make sure that the build system is actually setting
those RPATHs.
The hardened.patch implements two things:
* Set the binary directory to the setuid-wrappers dir so that
VboxSVC calls them instead of the binaries from the store path. The
reason behind this is because nothing in the Nix store can have the
setuid flag.
* Excempt /nix/store from the group permission check, because while it
is group-writeable indeed it also has the sticky bit set (and also
the whole store is mounted read-only on most NixOS systems), so we're
checking on that as well.
Right now, the hardened.patch uses /nix/store and /var/setuid-wrappers
directly, so someone would ever want to change those on a NixOS system,
please provide a patch to set those paths on build time. However, for
simplicity, it's best to do it when we _really_ need it.

Traversing the full source tree is unneccessary, because the calls are
only done within make files. Hence we only substitute make files now.
