Getting VBox Guest Addtions for Android x86

I am running Android x86 on VirtualBox, and I want the pointer integration enabled, which needs VirtualBox Guest Additions to be installed on the guest OS.

I have searched a lot, but what I have found is that one has to compile Guest Additions with Android-x86 kernel headers. Can anyone please share how to do this?

Thanks in advance.

Where do I get VirtualBox guest additions?

In the guest virtual machine, choose Devices -> Install Guest Additions from the menubar of VirtualBox. VirtualBox will look for the needed file. Failing to find it, it may give you an opportunity to download the file from the internet.

Just disable "mouse integration" in Host Machine tab.

The VMs provided by Genymotion have theses features integrated (at least for the mouse pointer capture/release which is automagically done).

So I don't have the solution, but it's at least completed on a commercial software providing VirtualBox-compatible images.
