I was unable to compile vmware-modules (any version) with paludis. The problem is that vmware-mod.eclass initialized $BUILD_TARGETS in global scope, but the referenced $KV_OUT_DIR is only set after linux-mod_pkg_setup() is called. Moving the initialization of BUILD_TARGETS inside vmware-mod_pkg_setup() solves the problem. --- vmware-mod.eclass 2007-03-27 05:07:13.000000000 +0900 +++ /usr/portage/eclass/vmware-mod.eclass 2007-03-27 00:05:44.000000000 +0900 @@ -28,10 +28,10 @@ EXPORT_FUNCTIONS pkg_setup src_unpack src_install # Must define VMWARE_VER to make, otherwise it'll try and run getversion.pl +BUILD_TARGETS="auto-build VMWARE_VER=${VMWARE_VER} KERNEL_DIR=${KERNEL_DIR} KBUILD_OUTPUT=${KV_OUT_DIR}" vmware-mod_pkg_setup() { linux-mod_pkg_setup - BUILD_TARGETS="auto-build VMWARE_VER=${VMWARE_VER} KERNEL_DIR=${KERNEL_DIR} KBUILD_OUTPUT=${KV_OUT_DIR}" vmware_determine_product
Created attachment 114542 [details, diff] vmware-mod-pkgsetup.patch Here is a proper patch (the pasted code in the report was actually a reversed patch).
Hiya Georgi, Thanks for the patch, I've made the changes in the overlay and I'm going to keep them in there a few days for testing, after which I'll push the changes out to the main tree. Please try out the overlay and let me know if there are any further problems. Thanks again for the report... 5:)

I diffed it against mine, and it appears that the files in question are identical to what I have in my own overlay, so the stable versions should be OK. Some of the files (in some other packages), however, are older than what is even in the official tree, so I think I'll pass on testing the overlay for now.
Ok, I just updated the eclass in the main tree, so please give that a go (in a couple of hours after the servers have resynced) and let me know if there are any problems. I'm going to mark the bug as fixed, but if you encounter any problems, do please reopen it and we'll try to fix them up. Thanks again for your help! 5:)
