Problem mit Linux Kernel 2.6.24.3 als Gast - VMWare Tools

[WalterH]

Hallo,

ich versuche die VMWare Tools für den 2.6.24.3 Kernel zu kompilieren, der gcc bricht aber immer mit Fehlermeldungen ab:
-----------------------------------------------

Habe auch das vmware-any-any-update116 versucht, das sucht aber /etc/vmware und meine Tools installieren nach /etc/vmware-tools ... daher findet das vmware-any-any-update116 nichts ...

---------------------------------------------

VMware modules in "/usr/lib/vmware-tools/modules/source" has been updated.

Before running VMware for the first time after update, you need to configure it
for your running kernel by invoking the following command:
"/usr/bin/vmware-config.pl". Do you want this script to invoke the command for
you now? [yes]

sh: /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl: No such file or directory
spamd:~/vmware-any-any-update116#

---------------------------------------------------------
Zusätzlich: das vmware-any-any-update116 bringt einen Patch für den vmnet Driver mit, meine Tools verwenden aber den vmxnet Driver ...

Weis jemand Rat wie man dir VMWare Tools kompilieren kann?

Servus!

Bin heute auch drübergestolpert und hab ein paar Patches erstellt, mit denen das Kompilieren der aktuellsten Tools unter 2.6.24.3 funktionieren sollte.

Detaillierte Informationen dazu gibts hier:
