Finding 3.2.44 kernel headers for VirtualBox Guest additions

#1 Post by dcdelia »

Hello,

I've been experiencing difficulties in finding the kernel headers (Precise Puppy 5.6 running under VirtualBox, default kernel 3.2.44) in order to compile the kernel modules of VirtualBox Guest additions 4.2.12: in particular, I was not able to find the package containing kernel headers associated with the kernel in use, so I cannot compile it! I tried vanilla kernel sources but it didn't work (perhaps because the kernel configuration file is missing).

I really hope someone can help me and also that this is not an already discussed problem on this forum. I need VBox additions since the pointer doesn't work properly inside VBox unless I disable mouse integration.

Kind regards,
Daniele

hi dcdelia

if you click on the install icon on the desktop .... at the bottom is a get sfs option ... you can find the headers there
kernel_src-3.2.44-patched.sfs
