fixed in cvs. Thanks. *** Bug 359197 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
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
