Hi,

to run Windows 11 as Virtualbox guest I build Virtualbox < version 7.

I want to build virtualbox 1:6.1.40-708.2 against latest version of python. Maybe I don't need to do this, but soon or later I at least need to build against another dependency and then python is involved, too. Perhaps just adding python3.11 to configure's SUPPYTHONLIBS already does the job to build virtualbox, without fixing something else. If so, the end of building virtualbox < version 7 to run Windows 11 guests is still close.

What are you doing to run a Windows 11 guest?

Hi Ralf, what's the problem with VirtualBox 7 and Windows 11? You could also try using QEMU with KVM to run Windows 11. Regards, André

Hi, I build virtualbox 6.1.44 by adding python3.11 to configure's SUPPYTHONLIBS.
