Please check out the patches in bug #53879 and see if that solves the problem for you.
I applied the patches and, although they applied without rejects, the compile still failed.
Change your CFLAGS to "-O2 -march=athlon-xp -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" and we'll see if it works. I've heard of problems with GCC 3.4 and -O3, and -ffast-math creates problems, as it uses inaccurate math, which can definitely cause problems with certain packages.
The problem isn't with the emerge though (doesn't get CFLAGS from make.conf). THe compile fails when doing: /opt/vmware/bin/vmware-config.pl I don't know where it gets the cflags for that compile from, but the line: CC [M] /tmp/vmware-config6/vmmon-only/linux/driver.o suggests it may be using gcc without parameters. Tell me if I'm way off here though.
Sorry, you're correct. It looks like VMware will pull CFLAGS from the environment at runtime. Unless you've modified your environment by exporting CFLAGS manually, they shoudl not affect the build. Also, it looks as if it gets its compilation options from the kernel Makefile, so it would be the same as what you used to compile your kernel.
Can you check the ebuild and see which version of the vmware-any-any-update it is using?
vmware-any-any-update72 Actually, I don't think this happened with the previous version vmware. Is the only change with the vmware-any-any-update file?
Well, the vmware-any-any-update patch is needed for VMware to successfully compile on many machines. The 4.5.1 ebuild originally did not include the updates, but it was added when the revision was bumped (I beleive, going form memory). The 4.5.2 ebuild did not use the update originally, but it was added to fix compilation problems for many people.
So the compile problems are more likely to be down to an incompatibilty with my system than gcc3.4? We could do with other people testing with gcc3.4
fails to compile here too.
linux-headers-2.6.7?
Doesn't the script use the headers from /usr/src/linux? If it does, then /usr/src/linux points to the source for my current kernel.
Sorry for my previous comment. It was stupid. The solution is untar /opt/vmware/lib/modules/source/vmmon.tar then apply this patch: --- vmmon-only/include/vm_basic_types.h.orig 2004-06-26 22:33:51.751238947 -0700 +++ vmmon-only/include/vm_basic_types.h 2004-06-26 22:24:06.069124255 -0700 @@ -286,7 +286,7 @@ * are added the inline-ness should be removed. */ -#if __GNUC__ > 3 || (__GNUC__ == 3 && __GNUC_MINOR__ >= 3) +#if __GNUC__ > 3 || (__GNUC__ == 3 && __GNUC_MINOR__ == 3) /* * Starting at version 3.3, gcc does not always inline functions marked * 'inline' (it depends on their size).

Nice one yeah, it work after that patch - thanks.

Alright... I've updated the ebuild for 4.5.1 and 4.5.2 to use the latest vmware-any-any-update, which fixes this problem. I did not bump either, since I saw no reason as it only affects people running GCC > 3.3, which isn't even marked ~x86 yet. Anyway, sync up and re-emerge to solve this problem.
I get the same (or a very similar) problem, even with the new ebuilds. The line numbers where the problem originates differ, though... module-building results: Building for VMware Workstation 4.5.2.

The requested URL /vmware/vmware-any-any-update82.tar.gz was not found on this server. :(
emerge sync again.... and don't post to resolved bugs... it helps no one
