Bug 384105 – [vmware overlay] =app-emulation/vmware-modules-264.0 fails to build against Linux 3.1-rc6 [patch included]

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Richard 2011-09-22 15:30:49 UTC]

A really awesome guy posted a patch for this at his blog:

http://weltall.heliohost.org/wordpress/2011/08/10/vmware-workstation-7-1-4-fix-for-linux-3-1/

Is there any chance that this could go into the overlay?

By the way, for anyone suffering from this problem, here is a workaround:

ebuild `equery which app-emulation/vmware-modules-264.0` prepare && wget -O - "http://weltall.heliohost.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/patch3031vmware741.patch" | patch -d /var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/vmware-modules-264.0/work -p1 && ebuild `equery which app-emulation/vmware-modules-264.0` merge

Just run that as a single command and the vmware-modules package should install without any issue.

Here is my system information in case the maintainer wants to see it:

USE="(consolekit) (multilib) (policykit)"

Failure log

A permissions issue kept me from attaching the build.log. That should be fixed now.

Weltall's patch

For convenience, I have attached the patch.

[Comment 3 Preston Crow 2011-10-26 15:42:28 UTC]

The workaround also works for vmware-modules-238.5 in the trunk:

ebuild `equery which app-emulation/vmware-modules-238.5` prepare && wget -O - "http://weltall.heliohost.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/patch3031vmware741.patch" | patch -d /var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/vmware-modules-238.5/work -p1 && ebuild `equery which app-emulation/vmware-modules-238.5` merge

I had some transient DNS errors with the host for the patch, and you have to be careful as the cut-and-paste will add newlines.

[Comment 4 Richard 2011-10-29 21:05:21 UTC]

With =app-emulation/vmware-modules-264.0-r1, the ebuild fails to build at all and I cannot fix it by applying this patch. It looks like the patch has been included, but I do not have time to look into this in more detail.

[Comment 5 Vadim Kuznetsov (RETIRED) 2012-01-10 14:51:22 UTC]

fixed in the tree (and overlay) some time ago.
