Can't build the package from sources. Undefined reference to `QtPrivate::CompatPropertySafePoint::CompatPropertySafePoint and "No rule to make target" errors on Ubuntu 24.04 and 22.04

[dominik59]

I was using
script.sh:

docker build -t vbox-builder . && \
docker run --name vbox-build -it vbox-builder /bin/bash

Dockerfile:

and then inside container:

cd VirtualBox-7.1.6 && ./configure --with-kvm --disable-kmods --disable-hardening --disable-docs --disable-java --with-qt-dir=/build/qtdir/6.9.1/gcc_64/lib && source env.sh && kmk -j$(nproc)

to build environment and VirtualBox with KVM support. I was using VirtualBox-7.1.6a.tar.bz2 file from: https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/7.1.6/

but unfortunatelly i had no luck to build it. It throws an error:

/usr/bin/ld: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt6DBus.so.6: undefined reference to `QtPrivate::CompatPropertySafePoint::CompatPropertySafePoint(QBindingStatus*, QUntypedPropertyData*)@Qt_6'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

when i tried to just use qt packages it threw errors:

kmk: *** No rule to make target '/opt/Qt/6.8.1/gcc_64//lib/libQt6StateMachine.so', needed by '/home/me/git/vbox/VirtualBox-7.1.4/out/linux.amd64/release/obj/UICommon/UICommon.so'. Stop

I don't know how to proceed for now. I am just leaving it here to give you my thinking process, maybe someone will use it and will succeed.

You need to go through these notes: #42

Apply them to your dockerfile and it should work:
