Linux 3.6 patch from VMWare Communities forum

I found this forum post: http://communities.vmware.com/message/2129675

I extracted the patch from that script, and it patches cleanly on open-vm-tools-kmod-2012.05.21.724730 in the vmware overlay, and the module builds on gentoo-sources-3.6.2. Haven't tested it with portage in-tree ebuild.
Comment 4 Conrad Kostecki gentoo-dev 2012-10-20 21:30:48 UTC 
Hi Mads,
thanks! This Patch works fine here.
Comment 5 Toei Rei 2012-10-29 18:24:48 UTC 
tested patch on two identical VMs. Tools do behave weird; Things do crash on one vm while things pretend to behave on the other one.

Thank you. Tried your mentioned patch, works like a charm. I tested it with open-vm-tools-9.2.0, no problems so far.

make frozen accessor in vmsync module compatible with 3.6.x linux

That's my patch :)

Now that the project has released 9.2.2, a better solution is probably to version-bump both open-vm-tools and open-vm-tools-kmod to "9.2.2.893683".

Aside from applying this patch, no changes to the 2012.05.21.724730 ebuild in vmware-overlay git were needed to make this compile (I haven't rebooted and tested yet, however... so caveat emptor!)

Note that you'll need to mask the open-vm-tools versions that start with four-digit years (i.e.: from my /etc/portage/package.mask/open-vm-tools:

=app-emulation/open-vm-tools-kmod-2012.05.21.724730
=app-emulation/open-vm-tools-kmod-2012.03.13.651368-r1
=app-emulation/open-vm-tools-2012.05.21.724730
=app-emulation/open-vm-tools-2012.03.13.651368-r1

), or else portage will consider these versions to be newer... not sure what the best way to deal with that really is... maybe rename the ebuilds to something starting with a date.

I'll put another post in this bug if and when I discover that this causes some kind of disaster when you actually load the modules :)

showing the difference between the version bumped open-vm-tools-kmod-9.2.2.893683.ebuild and open-vm-tools-kmod-2012.05.21.724730.ebuild in the vmware overlay.

Seems to work OK on my ~x86 vm with kenrel 3.6.6 (still haven't tested X11, however).  This patch shows the tiny modification I made to the ebuild after version-bumping it (it just applies the patch -- nothing to it).
Comment 9 Mads 2012-11-13 09:56:11 UTC 
Thank you! Can see it has hit the vmware overlay :)

I suggest another /etc/portage/package.mask/open-vm-tools:

>=app-emulation/open-vm-tools-kmod-2012
>=app-emulation/open-vm-tools-2012

Then you get rid of the issue completely...
Comment 10 Mads 2012-11-13 10:18:35 UTC 
open-vm-tools-9.2.2.893683::vmware fails the configure stage at my machine with this statement:

> checking for getstat in -lproc... no
> checking for getstat in -lproc-3.2.8... no
> checking for getstat in -lproc-3.2.7... no
> configure: error: libproc not found. Please configure without procps (using --without-procps) or install procps - http://procps.sourceforge.net

Should I make a new bug report for it? Can I do that, since it's in vmware-overlay?
