VirtualBox: VBoxControl build

[Iniesta8]

Hi,

I am trying to compile VirtualBox guest addition tools like VBoxControl (and VBoxService and VBoxClient). The recipe https://github.com/openembedded/meta-openembedded/blob/master/meta-oe/recipes-support/vboxguestdrivers/vboxguestdrivers_7.0.10.bb only provides the kernel modules (vboxsf.ko, vboxguest.ko and vboxvideo.ko) and the util mount.vboxsf.

I tried to do the same steps as in the recipe for compiling the mount.vboxsf utiltily by adding a GNU Makefile, moving the sources and the Makefile to a separate folder and then running make. By doing this I still get many errors, especially linker errors.

Does anyone have experience with compiling the additional executables listed above, especially VBoxControl?
