Installs packages required to build a VirtualBox
#
# Tested on freshly installed Ubuntu 16.04 (amd64)
# with VirtualBox 5.1.14 code base.
#
#
# Note:
# After a build, there was VBoxDD.so file missing in the
# out/linux.amd64/release/bin folder.
# The file is located in the out/linux.amd64/release/obj/VBoxDD folder,
# so ...
#
# cp out/linux.amd64/release/obj/VBoxDD/VBoxDD.so out/linux.amd64/release/bin
#
# ... should make it work.
