Install Ubuntu Server in VirtualBox (with out any additional packages, may change depending on your need)
Create a Shared folder on your VM's settings.
Setup the build enviorment in the VM:
sudo apt-get build-essentials linux-headers-generic
Insert the CD image:
Devices->Insert Guest Additions CD image
It will be mounted at /dev/cdrom (most likely). If not identify the image using:
sudo blkid
Mount it to a directory in your system so that you can access the contents
sudo mount <source> <target>
Go to the mounted directory and Install the Guest Additions:
sudo sh ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
Reboot your system
Add an entry in rc.local for automatic mount:
sudo vi /etc/rc.local
And make the below entry
mount.vboxsf <share_name> <target_directory> vboxsf
Now you may create a shortcut to the target
ln -s <target_directory> /home/<username>/<sharename>
Reboot the system, you should be able to access your share using the target_directory or the symbolic link
