I've attempted to compile subject, ran into a few snags, and have a few
solutions.
vmxnet.c build failed with:
make[3]: Entering directory
`/usr/src/open-vm-tools-2009.02.18-148847/modules/linux/vmxnet'
In file included from /lib/modules/2.4.36/build/include/asm/dma.h:14,
from vmxnet.c:34:
/lib/modules/2.4.36/build/include/linux/delay.h:62: error: parse error
before "const"
make[3]: *** [vmxnet.o] Error 1
I couldn't see what the problem with linux/delay.h exactly was, but it
doesn't appear to be necessary. I tried removing
#include <asm/dma.h>
from vmxnet.c, and the only complaint from the compiler was the lack of
the udelay function, which is defined in <asm/delay.h>. It appears that
asm/dma.h was including linux/delay.h, which in turn included
asm/delay.h, which contained the udelay definition. I replaced
<asm/dma.h> with <asm/delay.h>, and vmxnet.c compiled clean. Of course
whether it actually works or not is another question.
The next error was with vmhgfs. Makefile.normal had specified
hgfsEscapeLinux.o, while the program was really hgfsEscape.o (the
"Linux" part had apparently been dropped along the line). I modified
Makefile.normal, specifying hgfsEscape.o, and it compiled clean. Can
someone verify if this is correct?
With vmsock, I get this:
make[4]: Entering directory
`/usr/src/open-vm-tools-2009.02.18-148847p/modules/linux/vsock/driver-2.4.36'

Can someone explain what might be the problem here? I don't expect
vmsock to be useful in the IPCop distro, but I'm wondering what the
problem is, as it should build with this kernel.
