Patch for Main Portage Tree
The latest version completely failed with 4.8 - the attached patch makes it successfully compile (and run) with the aforementioned version but almost certainly isn't appropriate for prior kernel versions.
REFERENCE: Bug 616958 : 12.5.7 version bump Currently, we are @ 4.9.36 for latest longterm. Current [Overlay] includes: vmware-modules-304.4-r1.ebuild and vmware-modules-308.5.7.ebuild , but no vmware-modules-308.1.y.ebuild any more. To me, this bug seems to be FIXED / OBSOLETE. VMware Products have been removed from Main Portage Tree during Nov-2017. Further development has been relegated to [vmware] Overlay. Situation as of today, 30-Nov-2017: Workstation : stable in [vmware] = 12.5.8 / released = 14.0.0 : Bug 634770 Player : stable in [vmware] = 12.5.8 / released = 14.0.0 : Bug 639162 Modules : stable in [vmware] = 308.5.8 / released = 329.0.0 : Bug 634862 Tools : stable in [vmware] = 10.1.6 / released = 10.1.15 : Bug 634854 |
