Has the "linux/version.h" changed directories Yes it did change location. But - every PROPER kernel module source compiles as it did before. And compared to the Nvidia source crap, VMware is actually passable. Well, that is an understatement: the vmware modules, they need no fiddling at all.
If you do however get some version.h related error notice even if you have made sure you have the kernel-devel packages (it looks like you do), it must be some kind of higher-level program that tells you about it, because the compile procedure itself works flawlessy:
I use vmware player. There I need the following trick to get vmware modules compiled:
cd /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include ln -s generated/uapi/linux .
And then when I start vmware player, it will correctly find
Does this get copy/pate support working? I also could not (still can not) compile the correct Vmware tools and when I filed a bug (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=802058) I was told the issue is vmware and not the packages. linux/version.h and
