Obie's sailfish development journey - Sailfish Troubleshooting Discussions on JollaTides Community Port

Obie

Alright there, I'm starting this thread to document my journey to try and become a sailfish developer. I'm a noob but will hopefully learn as I go.

Today I have already learned a lot and downloaded the mac SDK from here: https://sailfishos.org/develop.html
I already hit a problem tho as it seems I would also need virtualbox, but when I go to the website here: http://www.virtualbox.org/ I can't get to download the right version from that website and any links to download bring up a 'can't conenct to the server' error msg. I've tried another site but got the same message. Going to try again tomorrow and will post here when I find a site that works unless someone else can help?

Also which version of virtual box is best to run with sailfish sdk? Jolla reccomend version 4.1.18 or higher.

I found this page helpful:https://sailfishos.org/develop-installation-article.html

ERROR:
Safari can’t open the page “http://dlc.sun.com.edgesuite.net/virtualbox/4.3.2/VirtualBox-4.3.2-90405-OSX.dmg” because Safari can’t connect to the server “dlc.sun.com.edgesuite.net”.
