Summary: kernel-modules not longer building on fedora
Initial Comment:
Since april 2009 the open-vm-tools are not longer building on fedora 9 / fedora
10
Since a long time i use the following script to build the kernel-modules for
distributing after that to all other machines and it would be fine to get this
working again because kernel 2.6.29 landed in updates-testing today
[r...@buildserver:/scripts]$ cat /scripts/open-vm-tools/build.sh
#!/bin/bash
tar -xzf open-vm-tools-*.gz
cd open-vm-tools-*/modules/linux
modsrc="/usr/lib/vmware-tools/modules/source"
for x in `ls -d v*`
do
mv $x ${x}-only
tar -cf $x.tar ${x}-only
mv ${x}-only $x
mv $modsrc/$x.tar $modsrc/$x.tar.orig
mv $x.tar $modsrc
done

WHY?
You make unuseable this for non c-programmers in many cases or hurt them
Since many months this works very well on round 20 guest-machines and
On the referenced mailing-list i find no clear solution to get this
working as it did
before april 2009.

with the products
If this would be so easy there would be NO NEED for open-vm-tools because
you need them
for distributions with really new kernels as not official supported
fedora-guests

Message:
That won't work. The module directories don't contain all needed files
anymore - the shared files are reused from other locations. If you want the
tar packages you should probably get them from VMware's Tools distribution
that goes with the products, or try to adapt the instructions on the
following thread to create them from the open-vm-tools code:
