Package: open-vm-source Version: 2008.05.02-90473-1 Severity: important Justification: fails to build from source
open-vm-source 2008.05.02-90473-1 fails to compile on my system with kernel 2.6.24. I suspect that it's a problem with the header directory paths (gcc's -I option). ~/install/open-vm-tools $ tar xjf /usr/src/open-vm.tar.bz2 ~/install/open-vm-tools $ cd modules/open-vm/ ~/install/open-vm-tools/modules/open-vm $ make make -C modules/linux/vmblock Using standalone build system. ./autoconf/geninclude.c:19:28: error: linux/autoconf.h: No such file or directory make[1]: Entering directory `/home/lea/install/open-vm-tools/modules/open-vm/modules/linux/vmblock' .././autoconf/geninclude.c:19:28: error: linux/autoconf.h: No such file or directory make[2]: Entering directory `/home/lea/install/open-vm-tools/modules/open-vm/modules/linux/vmblock/driver-' Dependencies for .././linux/module.c In file included from .././linux/module.c:26: .././include/driver-config.h:42:5: error: #error "No Module support in this kernel.
