[Bug 300839] Re: open-vm-source should recommend installation of packages needed for modules compilation
Why are all of those packages required for compilation? Isn't open-vm- source the source package for the kernel modules only? None of the -dev packages you've mentioned are needed for compiling the open-vm-tools kernel modules. -- open-vm-source should recommend installation of packages needed for modules compilation https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/300839 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 300839] Re: open-vm-source should recommend installation of packages needed for modules compilation
Sorry, it was my mistake. I had problems compiling the open-vm modules, so I tried many solutions and I also installed those -dev packages following this article: http://www.debianadmin.com/install-open-vm-tools-on-debian-40-etch.html I now understand that the only reason why I couldn't compile the modules is connected with bug #278711, while all those -dev packages are actually not needed to compile the modules. Applying the patch posted in bug #278711 solved my problems.
