You can find that ebuild here : http://git.meleeweb.net/distros/gentoo/portage.git/tree/app-emulation/vmware-view-client It work pretty nice, but libxkbfile.so is missing in app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-xlibs so I add to copy /usr/lib/libxkbfile.so{,1,1.0.2} from a x86 box and put it in /usr/local/lib32 to make to all work. See bug #507328 for that point

Another dependecy that is listed and not available in the emul packages (afaik) is sys-apps/pcsc-lite which is probably optional. Is the gnome-extra/zenity dependency actually needed? I only spotted it in the debian/ubuntu vmware-view.wrapper which we don't install (and also probably won't). Thanks for your great work! Looking forward to include it in the main tree. Regards Timo

And as LICENSE was then available in /usr/portage/license/vmware, I wasn't seeing the point for installing them, but your justification is pretty acceptable. > > It work pretty nice, but libxkbfile.so is missing in > > app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-xlibs so I add to copy > > /usr/lib/libxkbfile.so{,1,1.0.2} from a x86 box and put it in > > /usr/local/lib32 to make to all work. > > > > See bug #507328 for that point > > I couldn't actually test the client yet, besides of starting it since our > vdesktop's are currently not available so I probably didn't hit that failure > yet. > > Another dependecy that is listed and not available in the emul packages > (afaik) is sys-apps/pcsc-lite which is probably optional. I can confirm, I also added them in /usr/local/lib32, sorry to have not notice it. Not available via a multilib package nor an emul package :/ (sys-apps/pcsc-lite is only needed for USB redirection). > Is the gnome-extra/zenity dependency actually needed? I only spotted it in > the debian/ubuntu vmware-view.wrapper which we don't install (and also > probably won't). True. At the begenning I looked in the .deb archive. This is not needed when using the orig archive. > Thanks for your great work! Looking forward to include it in the main tree. Thanks :)
While we wait for the libxkbfile.so problem to be fixed, I propose a small change to the vmware-view-open-client-4.5.0.297975 ebuild. I removed --as-needed from LDFLAGS and added -lgmodule-2.0 and now it builds successfully.
