We’re getting closer, however we’re not there yet. The VMWare module source shipped with VMware server 1.0.6 still fails to compile on my Ubuntu Hardy systems. I received the following errors when running vmware-config.pl
/tmp/vmxnet-only/vmxnet.c: In function ‘vmxnet_open’:
/tmp/vmxnet-only/vmxnet.c:675: error: ‘SA_SHIRQ’ undeclared (first use in this function)
/tmp/vmxnet-only/vmxnet.c:675: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
/tmp/vmxnet-only/vmxnet.c:675: error: for each function it appears in.)
/tmp/vmxnet-only/vmxnet.c: In function ‘vmxnet_netpoll’:
/tmp/vmxnet-only/vmxnet.c:1045: error: too many arguments to function ‘vmxnet_interrupt’
I have made appropriate patches (for the network module only) and uploaded a patch file here
In order to apply the patch do the following and then re-run vmware-config.pl
cd /tmp
wget http://www.cqure.net/files/VMwareTools-1.0.6-91891.patch
tar xvf /usr/lib/vmware-tools/modules/source/vmxnet.tar
patch -p0 < VMwareTools-1.0.6-91891.patch
tar cvf vmxnet.tar vmxnet-only
sudo cp vmxnet.tar /usr/lib/vmware-tools/modules/source/vmxnet.tar

VMware workstation 6.04 was released the other day. No need to patch any of the modules for recent kernels (2.6.24) anymore.
