This is th relevant bit of vmware-config.pl:
$gcc_version = direct_command(shell_string($gHelper{'gcc'})
. ' --version');
chomp($gcc_version);
@gcc_version_num = split(/\./, $gcc_version);
if ($gcc_version_num[0] >= 3) {
It runs "gcc --version", strips the trailing "\n", and splits the
number into components using "." as a field separator. It expects
something like "2.96", i.e. a simple numeric version number. Your
compiler reported something different, the first part of which was "gcc
(GCC) 3".
Run /usr/bin/gcc --version and see what it tells you. If it is
reporting something like the string above, add this:
$gcc_version =~ s/gcc \(GCC\) //;
between the "chomp" and "split" commands. This will strip the first
part and leave the number and whatever follows. All the script is
trying to do is work out the gcc major version number, and if it's 3 or
higher warn you that it's unsupported. It'll probably work anyway, but
all they're saying is that it's not been fully tested.
Cheers,
John
