Configuration Options:- ===> The following configuration options are available for virtualbox-ose-additions-72-7.2.6.1403000:
DBUS=on: D-Bus IPC system support
DEBUG=off: Build with debugging support
X11=on: X11 (graphics) support
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings

- USES:
- compiler:c++17-lang cpe iconv kmod tar:bzip2 pkgconfig xorg
- pkg-message:
- For install:
- VirtualBox Guest Additions are installed.
To enable and start the required services:
# sysrc vboxguest_enable="YES"
# sysrc vboxservice_enable="YES"
To start the services, restart the system.
In some situations, a panic will occur when the kernel module loads.
Having no more than one virtual CPU might mitigate the issue.
For features such as window scaling and clipboard sharing, membership of
the wheel group is required. With username "jerry" as an example:
# pw groupmod wheel -m jerry
The settings dialogue for FreeBSD guests encourages use of the VMSVGA
graphics controller. Whilst this might suit installations of FreeBSD
without a desktop environment (a common use case), it is not appropriate
where Guest Additions are installed.
Where Guest Additions are installed:
1. prefer VBoxSVGA
2. do not enable 3D acceleration (doing so will invisibly
lose the preference for VBoxSVGA)
You may ignore the yellow alert that encourages use of VMSVGA.

emulators/virtualbox-ose*-72: Update 7.2.4 => 7.2.6
Changelog:
https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Changelog-7.2#v6
emulators/virtualbox-ose{,-nox11}-72:
Remove the OGG, VORBIS, and VPX options - without libogg and libvorbis
in the system, the ports attempts to use the bundled versions, but
without libvpx, the build fails. Even when using libvpx, building the
bundled libvorbis library also fails.
These 3 libraries are not heavy dependencies, so we simply make them
mandatory even for emulators/virtualbox-ose-nox11-72.
