Why? This package is already prepared for external modules build.
Do you have any evidence that you *need* it? As I already wrote, this is not needed to manually compile vmware modules.
there are some reasons why i keep doing this: * i also recompile my wifi-driver wl.ko for my broadcom wifi card (hybrid-v35_64-nodebug-pcoem-6_30_223_271) * i also recompile the displaylink driver displaylink-driver-1.2.58
Care to provide link to both?
* i also recompile the proprietary nvidia driver (but i think this one doesn't need it also...) * i remeber, that last time, i tried recompiling vmware modules without it, it didn' work. but maybe that happened at a time long ago, where it really was needed. * last but not least: it doesn't hurt doing it.
It does. What you have there no more matches your running kernel.
and since all these kernel modules compiles are working without problems, i keep doing the "make prepare" and "make modules_prepare".
