Created attachment 212307 [details] ebuild for 1.0.0.24-r2 Created an ebuild with a patch for 24, since vmware-server 2.0.2.203138 requires < vmware-modules-1.0.0.25. Attaching both. Thanks for the help. Can you add this to portage tree ?
Created attachment 212308 [details, diff] The patch for 1.0.0.24-r2.

Created attachment 212312 [details, diff] vmware-modules-1.0.0.25.ebuild And here the modified ebuild.
(In reply to comment #0) > While trying to emerge, compilation fails. > /vmciKernelIf.c:716: > error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type I can't reproduce this issue so far. Could you provide emerge info and kernel config, please?
Created attachment 212547 [details] Kernel configuration Added the kernel config.
Created attachment 212549 [details] emerge info
patch works perfect on x86_64 here. Thanks. I just added the one line in the 1.0.0.25 ebuild and saved the patch to files/patches/ dir and it worked great.

Sorry, my first time to use Bugs I found the problem, my patch is not formatted correctly I am now able to correctly compile vmware-modules with patch very very sorry
Why is this patch not in portage yet? Its been lying here for more than three weeks now.
(In reply to comment #14) > Why is this patch not in portage yet? Its been lying here for more than three > weeks now. > It's because I could not reliably reproduce this issue. I think I can now. This settings will allow you to compile modules without this patch: # CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE is not set # CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY is not set CONFIG_PREEMPT=y Setting Server or Desktop preemption model will trigger this issue. I think this commit is the primary cause: http://www.linuxhq.com/kernel/v2.6/32/include/linux/interrupt.h
fixed in cvs. Thanks.
(In reply to comment #16) > fixed in cvs. > Thanks. > May I ask what was fixed in CVS ? Should I change kernel settings or did you fix the commit which causes this issue ?

I did not bump ebuild, because you do not have to rebuild it if you already have it running. If you upgrade your kernel, you will rebuild modules regardless. Thanks.
