This was developped as a GSoC project in 2012, but there are several problems with it : - It was not updated since then, and seems a bit uneasy to build, - All the VBox code is put into a Deskbar replicant. Since that code only builds with gcc4, you need a gcc4 or gcc4hybrid Haiku installation to be ale to use it. A better solution would be to have a gcc4-compiled daemon with the VBox stuff inside, and a gcc2 replicant just sending it BMessages to tell it what to do. Other than that, I think the VBox additions used to work fine, with mouse pointer sharing, folder sharing, and maybe more. -- Adrien.
