Why is "VBoxManage" required? #116

Open azngeek opened 8 years ago

azngeek commented 8 years ago

Hello, i just wanted to ask why Virtual Box is required when using this driver? Shouldn't xhyve replace Virtualbox. I am currently also running VMWare Fusion and really would try to avoid installing Virtualbox.

Thanks for clarification

The only references to VirtualBox I can find anywhere in the project seem to be used by a warning that if you have virtualbox of a particular version installed, it'll crash xhyve/hyperkit. It seems to throw an error if you don't have it installed though, which is counterintuitive. @zchee do you know?

It will only grow an error if you have an incomplete install of virtualbox. That is, you uninstalled virtualbox, but still have the VboxManage binary on your path. Maybe the xhyve driver should handle this case a little better? But the solution is to delete VboxManage from your path
