Ubuntu 17.10 amd64 itself installs in VBox 5.1.18, but building the vboxguest-5.1.18 on the kernel 4.13.0 fails with:




grep: /lib/modules/4.13.0-32-generic/build/include/linux/version.h: No such file or directory
make KBUILD_VERBOSE=1 CONFIG_MODULE_SIG= -C /lib/modules/4.13.0-32-generic/build SUBDIRS=/tmp/vbox.0 SRCROOT=/tmp/vbox.0 -j1 modules
test -e include/generated/autoconf.h -a -e include/config/auto.conf || (
echo >&2;
echo >&2 " ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid.";
echo >&2 " include/generated/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing.";
echo >&2 " Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it.";
echo >&2 ;
/bin/false)


and later down the road with a compilation error.



Any ideas? Updating VBox is not an option due to other guests on the host.
