Hi, I tried to compile vmware-server-1.0.8.126538 with vmware-modules-1.0.0.15-r1 but compiling vmmon failed.
I got this error message: /var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/vmware-modules-1.0.0.15-r1/work/vmmon-only/./include/compat_semaphore.h:5:27: error: asm/semaphore.h: File or directory not found /var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/vmware-modules-1.0.0.15-r1/work/vmmon-only/linux/driver.c:171: error: unknown field ‘nopage’ specified in initializer /var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/vmware-modules-1.0.0.15-r1/work/vmmon-only/linux/driver.c:172: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type /var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/vmware-modules-1.0.0.15-r1/work/vmmon-only/linux/driver.c:175: error: unknown field ‘nopage’ specified in initializer /var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/vmware-modules-1.0.0.15-r1/work/vmmon-only/linux/driver.c:176: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type /var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/vmware-modules-1.0.0.15-r1/work/vmmon-only/linux/driver.c: In function ‘__LinuxDriver_Ioctl’: /var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/vmware-modules-1.0.0.15-r1/work/vmmon-only/linux/driver.c:1781: error: too many arguments to function ‘smp_call_function’ make[3]: *** [/var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/vmware-modules-1.0.0.15-r1/work/vmmon-only/linux/driver.o] Error 1 make[2]: *** [_module_/var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/vmware-modules-1.0.0.15-r1/work/vmmon-only] Error 2 make[1]: *** [sub-make] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.28-gentoo' make: *** [vmmon.ko] Error 2 I tried with gcc 3.4.6, 4.2.4, 4.3.2, all of them failed. I guess, this problem related to the kernel. Is that possible to use vmware-server with the latest kernel? Thank you, István -- BSA. Mert megérdemlitek. Open Source. Mert megérdemlem. -- BSA.
