I did use m-a... >> It appears that the one >> patch, that is applied when building open-vm-source from the >> open-vm-tools source package, is incomplete. >> >> It fixes the Makefile for 5 different modules, but not for: >> >> vmci >> vsock > > their not enabled in the toplevel makefile as i did not test them yet, > thus they are disabled and not used at all. Hm, that's strange. What I actually did is the following. All of this happens on an Etch install, so maybe that is of some influence. - apt-get source open-vm-tools from Unstable - some 'backport' changes: depend on debhelper 5, do not call dh_lintian - debuild -rfakeroot - dpkg -i open-vm-source_2008.09.03-114782*_all.deb - cd /usr/src - sudo m-a -t -l 2.6.26-1-vserver-amd64 build open-vm This fails on building 'vmci'. I really didn't change anything to enable vmci or vsock. Please let me know if you need more information. Best regards, Martijn Grendelman
