Hey there,
I work for a company that produces appliances using a custom linux
platform. I'm trying to compile and setup open-vm-tools for these, and
running into problems. My question right now is, What version of
open-vm-tools should I use to compile against 2.6.36.2? Also, what version
of glib should I use?
Currently, I'm trying:
open-vm-tools-8.4.2
glib-2.16
Later versions of glib were giving me problems. I was able to get
open-vm-tools-8.4.2 to compile with glib-2.12 and some nasty patching to
open-vm-tools. I was unable to get vmxnet to recognize eth0 and figured I
ought to try compiling it without changees to code I don't understand.
Thanks, any help would be appreciated.

Also, here's the diff of open-vm-tools-8.4.2 I tried:
