Description Serge 2009-12-20 19:54:44 UTC

seems to depend on x11 !

Reproducible: Always

Comment 3 Serge 2009-12-20 20:02:57 UTC

x11 is not present on this system
the latest working version is app-emulation/open-vm-tools-kmod-0.0.20091015.201664

gentoo-vm-std ~ # emerge -uDbkavt world

Comment 5 Alexander Hoogerhuis 2009-12-21 07:19:39 UTC

Adding this section to the -kmod ebuild seems to be part of the solution:

src_configure() {
        econf \
                --without-gtk2 \
                --without-gtkmm \
                --without-pam \
                --without-procps \
                --without-dnet \
                --without-icu \
                --without-x
}

Comment 6 Alexander Hoogerhuis 2009-12-21 07:26:50 UTC

A data point, however, the module vmmemctl does not get loaded by itself; need to figure out what dependancy loads it.

Comment 7 Brandon Holbrook 2009-12-21 20:57:41 UTC

I'm getting bit by this bug as well.  Probably want to copy over the "X" USE flag from the open-vm-tools package and issue --with[out]-x accordingly.

Comment 8 Alexander Hoogerhuis 2009-12-22 04:43:40 UTC

Without having looked very hard at the source, I doubt the kernel module has any dependancies to X or other bits and that the -kmod ebuild can be built without any of the features enabled.
