Haiku R1/beta1 in Vagrant

Over the last year, I have been slowly pushing patches upstream to Vagrant introducing native Haiku support. Vagrant is an open-source tool to build and maintain portable virtual development environments. Essentially, Vagrant lets you deploy and rapidly customize a Haiku virtual machine with programmatic scripts.

Since we now have a new stable release, I have prepared some updated R1/beta1 images to play with under an official Haiku, Inc. account.

Requirements

A linux, OS X, or Windows machine.

VirtualBox installed and functional.

Vagrant installed.

Starting Haiku under the VirtualBox provider

The example below starts up a x86_64 Haiku VM.

Change haiku-os/r1beta1-x86_64 to haiku-os/r1beta1-x86_gcc2h below for a 32-bit (BeOS ABI compatible) virtual machine..

Create a new work directory and enter it

mkdir haiku-r1beta1 && cd haiku-r1beta1

Create a new file names “Vagrantfile” in this path.
