Created attachment 375360 [details, diff] vmware-modules-279.2.ebuild.diff Work fine for me
I cannot speak for earlier kernel versions. It worked for me with late 3.13 versions and 3.14 versions. As for the ebuild diff, vmware-modules ebuilds contain support for ebuild patch user which means no ebuild modifications are necessary, just place the patches in the specified folder and they will get applied. Just to be clear, the patches were pulled from this forum post http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-979802-start-25.html (vmnet patch was eliminated from his reccomendation) and the 3.12 vmblock patch was modified and sort of merged with this bugs patch https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=504736. All apears to work using the latest gentoo sources 3.14.1
As for kernel 3.12, you may wish to try just the vmblock patches, maybe they will allow vmblock to be built.
Please attach the entire build.log against stable gentoo-sources.
I had the same problems on amd64 using gentoo-sources-3.12.13 (stable). The attached patches fixed the problem for me. Thanks!

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 483410 ***
It compiles but the copy from guest os is not working. It always use a path like "/2exxxx/myfile.txt" but actually the file is in the /tmp/VMwareDnd/2exxxx directory, so the file will not be found and copy will fail.

Created attachment 379644 [details, diff] vmware-modules-279.2.ebuild.diff The bug of which this bug was marked a duplicate says, "I'm closing this bug, failures with 3.12 and later (different error) should be tracked separately." This bug, then, is not (any longer) a duplicate. The attached file is the diff from the current tree to an ebuild that compiles, much like the attachment originally included in this bug report. Tested on linux-3.14.6.
For me to work, i had to comment the vmblock-3.11.patch and 3.12.patch for vmware-modules to compile against 3.14.14-gentoo and 3.14.4-ck The ebuild just fails when trying to apply those patches...
The problem now arises with app-emulation/vmware-modules-279.3 and the recently stabilized sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.16.5 on amd64. Until now I've been using a modified ebuild with the pacthes from this bug: === src_prepare() { epatch "${FILESDIR}/${PV_MAJOR}-makefile-kernel-dir.patch" epatch "${FILESDIR}/${PV_MAJOR}-makefile-include.patch" epatch "${FILESDIR}/${PV_MAJOR}-netdevice.patch" use pax_kernel && epatch "${FILESDIR}/279-hardened.patch" epatch "${FILESDIR}/${PV_MAJOR}-apic.patch" kernel_is ge 3 7 0 && epatch "${FILESDIR}/${PV_MAJOR}-putname.patch" kernel_is ge 3 10 0 && epatch "${FILESDIR}/${PV_MAJOR}-vmblock.patch" kernel_is ge 3 11 0 && epatch "${FILESDIR}/${PV_MAJOR}-vmblock-3.11.patch" kernel_is ge 3 12 0 && epatch "${FILESDIR}/${PV_MAJOR}-vmblock-3.12.patch" kernel_is ge 3 14 0 && epatch "${FILESDIR}/${PV_MAJOR}-linux-3.14.patch" # Allow user patches so they can support RC kernels and whatever else epatch_user } === This even worked for app-emulation/vmware-modules-279.3 Could someone be so kind as to provide the required 279-linux-3.16.patch, if this were all that's needed?
