Description Evan Teran 2011-03-16 17:05:56 UTC 
In the app-emulation/vmware-modules-1.0.0.25-r3 ebuild, there is a line which applies a semaphore patch.

	kernel_is 2 6 37 && epatch "${FILESDIR}/${PV}-sema.patch"

The module will not compile against 2.6.38 complaining about init_MUTEX being missing. So it seems that this patch needs to be applied for that kernel version as well.

As an experiment I altered the ebuild on my system adding the line:

	kernel_is 2 6 38 && epatch "${FILESDIR}/${PV}-sema.patch"

and the module seemed to compile and install correctly.

Reproducible: Always
