Try install docbook-xml, docbook-xml5 and add "VBOX_PATH_DOCBOOK_DTD := /usr/share/xml/docbook/xml-dtd-4.5/" to LocalConfig.kmk file

Too late, back to AntiX.

To all those interested in building VirtualBox 7 for SlackBuild 15.0:

Some time ago, I posted about building VirtualBox 7.0.x because I was interested in several features that would make it ideal for running Windows 11. Since then, however, I have changed my computing strategy and no longer am interested in running any version of Windows whatsoever. But in the interest of making available my work for others to employ in building VirtualBox 7.0.x, I am making freely available the tarball of the several VirtualBox SlackBuilds for making that happen.

A note to mods: Since I have seen interest in building VirtualBox 7.0.x for Slackware 15.0, and the maintainer has declined to update his version (I have approached him in the past with the proposal that he could use my modified SlackBuild for 7.0.x. So far, nothing has changed), could you make this a sticky post? Just a thought. Thanks!

Happy Slacking, everyone!

Matt

Here is a modified version of ppr:kut's (the SBo maintainer of the virtualbox package) Slackbuild for Virtualbox 7.0.x. This build works on both 15.0 and -current, however it requires three dependencies.

For some reason it won't compile with zulu-openjdk8 from SBo. ppr:kut has stated that he will get a new SlackBuild posted to SBo soon, but in the mean time you can use mine if you want.
