Here is a patch I use to compile the open-vm-tools modules on trusty (linux 3.12). It's a mix of a patch I found on the internet [0] and some changes for uid_t -> kuid_t and gid_t -> kgid_t based on information I found in the linux headers. So it would be good if someone familiar with the kernel took a look on this patch.
I mostly use the vmhgfs module to mount the shared folders from VMWare and didn't have an problems with this patch yet. 0: http://dominator008.com/constructionyard/2013/10/03/vmware-9-0-2-vmblock-patch-for-linux-kernel-3-12/ ** Patch added: "open-vm-tools-linux-3.12.diff" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1254931/+attachment/3931681/+files/open-vm-tools-linux-3.12.diff -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1254931 Title: open-vm-tools-dkms 2013.09.16-1328054-0ubuntu2: open-vm-tools kernel module failed to build [error: incompatible types when assigning to type ‘kgid_t’ from type ‘int’] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1254931/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
