No. I'm talking about VirtualBox. To build the sources you need to do ./configure kmk kmk packing This builds the whole tree and as part of the compilation process, the kernel modules are built as well but these modules are NOT meant to be actually used. To compile the Linux kernel modules, do ./src/VBox/HostDrivers/Support/linux/export_modules ~/vboxhost.tar.gz Then extract the resulting archive and do make in the resulting directory. This will compile the kernel modules against the currently installed kernel sources. make install Will install the kernel modules into /lib/modules/... Please be aware that kmk as part of kBuild is something completely different than Linux kbuild (= kernel build system). Frank -- Dr.-Ing.
