Building VirtualBox Guest Additions

The only dependency of the drivers in Guest Additions is the kernel source code. It is very easy to build the drivers for Android. To build the Guest Additions, you can get the source code from your VirtualBox installation, or you can get a version from my GitHub as follows:

$ source build/envsetup.sh$ lunch x86vbox-eng$ cd $HOME$ git clone https://github.com/shugaoye/vboxguest-linux-modules$ cd vboxguest-linux-modules$ make BUILD_TARGET_ARCH=x86 KERN_DIR=$OUT/obj/KERNEL_OBJ  

After we have built the drivers successfully, we can find the driver modules as follows:

$ lsbuild_in_tmp  Makefile   vboxguest.ko  vboxsf.ko  vboxvideo.koLICENSE       vboxguest  vboxsf        vboxvideo  

We can store the kernel modules in a vbox
