why not patching the sources? there is nothing messing in fedora devel-kernel 2.6.40 was renamed to 3.0 from linux so fedoras 2.6.40 is 3.0 and fedoras 2.6.41 is 3.1
and since upstream > 2.6.39 was never released this is safe the original comment above my changed line speaks about 3.1 and in the source is KERNEL_VERSION(3, 0, 0), wrong comment or bug, anyways 2.6-41 is correct for fedora [root@buildserver64:~]$ cat /rpmbuild/SOURCES/open-vm-tools-2.6.41.patch --- open-vm-tools-original/modules/linux/shared/compat_netdevice.h 2011-10-27 20:57:11.000000000 +0200 +++ open-vm-tools-patched/modules/linux/shared/compat_netdevice.h 2011-11-23 16:57:55.814275389 +0100 @@ -184,7 +184,7 @@ * so let's add back ones we care about. */ #if !defined(HAVE_NET_DEVICE_OPS) && \ - LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(3, 0, 0) + LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(2, 6, 41) # define HAVE_NET_DEVICE_OPS 1 #endif Am 23.11.2011 19:58, schrieb Marcelo Vanzin: > Hi Reindl, > > I have an update to 8.8.x open-vm-tools that should provide a fix for that; > but it will probably need adjustments since Fedora is messing with the kernel > version numbers. > > I'm planning to post the update later today. > > On 11/23/2011 06:55 AM, Reindl Harald wrote: >> hi >> >> currently there seems to be no way to get open-vm-tools compiled with >> recent 2.6.41-kernels of Fedora 15 and rpmfusion seems to have totally >> dropped there packages -- Mit besten Grüßen, Reindl Harald the lounge interactive design GmbH A-1060 Vienna, Hofmühlgasse 17 CTO / software-development / cms-solutions p: +43 (1) 595 3999 33, m: +43 (676) 40 221 40 icq: 154546673, http://www.thelounge.net/ http://www.thelounge.net/signature.asc.what.htm
