Subject: Re: Unknown symbol _exit when compiling VMware vmmon.o module - problem with 2.6.3-rc1
Date: Sat, 07 Feb 2004 19:16:50 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <402539A2.20009@gadsdon.giointernet.co.uk> (raw)

I had this problem when recompiling VMware WS 4.0.5 with kernel 
2.6.3-rc1 (x86 system).   2.6.2 and earlier had been OK..

I found the following reference relating a similar problem with 2.6.1-mm5:

http://www.vmware.com/community/thread.jspa?threadID=1976&messageID=8243

Re-inserting
#define __NR__exit __NR_exit
and
static inline _syscall1(void,_exit,int,exitcode)
in ...include/asm-i386/unistd.h fixed the problem for me.   I do _not_ 
know if this is an acceptable solution, as there may be other 
implications for the removal of this code in 2.6.3-rc1...
