Subject: 2.6.0-test5-bk8 breaks VMWare build
Date: Mon, 22 Sep 2003 00:48:21 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200309220048.22043.jcwren@jcwren.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <3F6E7A8A.8010604@cyberone.com.au>
I don't know if this should be considered a VMWare or a kernel problem. This works fine under 2.6.0-test3-bk8, so a header that VMWare depends on has changed. The
`__set_64bit_var': warning does occur in test3-bk8, but the module safely compiles.
None of VMware Workstation's pre-built vmmon modules is suitable for your
running kernel. Do you want this program to try to build the vmmon module for
your system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system)? [yes]
Using compiler "/usr/bin/gcc". Use environment variable CC to override.
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/lib/modules/2.6.0-test5-bk8/build/include]
