after installing 4.0.5-4.g56152db-desktop from kernel-stable I wanted to rebuild the vmware kernel-modules. The vmware installer now complains about not finding gcc5. First idea was to install gcc5 from gcc:devel repo with one-click install. But this fails due to a missing dependency on libisl.so.13(64 bit).
It sounds quite surprising that VMware would require gcc5. Can you show what exactly you did and what did the response look like?
I built (host) modules for Workstation 10.0.6 (on 13.1) without problems like that but vmnet needed a patch (attached) to build with kernel 4.0. With it, usual "vmware-modconfig --console --install-all" worked fine.
The failed dependency was probably due to incomplete build and seems to be fixed now. vmware-modconfig --console --install-all returns Failed to get gcc information And after starting vmware the "VMware Kernel Module Updater" window pops up with the message GCC GNU C Compiler (gcc) version 5.1.1 was not found. If you installed it in a non-default path, you can specify the path below. Otherwise refer to your distributions documentation for installation instructions an click Refresh to search again in default locations. If I try to type in "/usr/bin/gcc-5" into that window it blocks after 9 characters if you started from a commandline you see: sh: /: Ist ein Verzeichnis Something fishy is going on with gcc -dumpversion. sh: /usr: Ist ein Verzeichnis Something fishy is going on with gcc -dumpversion. sh: /usr/: Ist ein Verzeichnis Something fishy is going on with gcc -dumpversion. sh: /usr/bin: Ist ein Verzeichnis Something fishy is going on with gcc -dumpversion. sh: /usr/bin/: Ist ein Verzeichnis Something fishy is going on with gcc -dumpversion. gc: option -d unrecognized - ignored gc: option -u unrecognized - ignored gc: option -m unrecognized - ignored gc: option -p unrecognized - ignored gc: option -i unrecognized - ignored gc: option -o unrecognized - ignored Using the file browser option of that window returns with an error: A compatible version of gcc was not found. I think the reason for that problem is that latest kernel stable was build with gcc-5 ( with kernel 4.0.4 I didn't have that problem ,still using patched vmware 10.0.5 , probably kernel-4.0.4 is was still build with gcc-4.8, which is the system compiler in 13.2) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner@opensuse.org
