[Bug 447430] New: VMware 2.0 vsock module does not compile
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=447430 Summary: VMware 2.0 vsock module does not compile Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Beta 5 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: mgyhardsoft@freestart.hu QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- When VMware 2.0 is configured using vmware-config.pl after installation it compiles some of its modules on-the-fly. This works perfectly in lots of environments including openSUSE 11. But with 11.1 beta 5 (I did not try the earlier versions) the vsock module does not compile but gives the following screen output: Building the vsock module. Using 2.6.x kernel build system. make: Entering directory `/tmp/vmware-config2/vsock-only' make -C /lib/modules/2.6.27.5-2-default/build/include/..

You may want to rebuild a kernel based on that directory, or specify another directory. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

It has been in for a while (sigh). In order to compile the vsock module, you have to copy the Module.symvers from the vmci-only directory over to the vsock-only directory. The following 'script' works for VMware workstation 6.5, so there might be slight modifications needed for VMware Server 2.0 (especially path names.) --- START SCRIPT --- #/bin/sh cd /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source for a in *.tar ; do tar xf $a; done pushd vmblock-only; make; popd pushd vmci-only; make; popd pushd vmmon-only; make; popd pushd vmnet-only; make; popd cp vmci-only/Module.symvers vsock-only/ pushd vsock-only; make; popd find -name *.ko -exec cp \ {} /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/misc/ \; depmod -aq --- END SCRIPT --- Hope this helps you. As there is nothing we can solve from our side, I close it as 'upstream' -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

However, it does not help alone, the Server still cannot be connected through its web interface... I readily accept this as a VMware bug, but the actual build of Server could compile on openSUSE 11.0, Ubuntu 8.04 and Ubuntu 8.10 without any modification. So I simply was not brave enough to report this issue to VMware as it happens for me only with a beta product. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

All the changes are makefile related and are contained in: open-vm-tools-2008.11.18-130226/modules/linux/vsock/Makefile.kernel open-vm-tools-2008.11.18-130226/modules/linux/vsock/Makefile open-vm-tools-2008.11.18-130226/modules/linux/vmci/Makefile.kernel open-vm-tools-2008.11.18-130226/modules/linux/vmci/Makefile The changes just incorporate the copying of Module.symvers into the vsock-only directory automatically. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
