The package from Nate fixes most compilation errors, except for the following:
/var/lib/dkms/open-vm-tools/2012.12.26/build/vmhgfs/inode.c: In function ‘HgfsTruncatePages’: /var/lib/dkms/open-vm-tools/2012.12.26/build/vmhgfs/inode.c:888:4: error: implicit declaration of function ‘vmtruncate’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration] cc1: some warnings being treated as errors Apparently, the vmtruncate method got removed in the following kernel commit: 7898575fc81bd707ce0844cb06874d48e39bbe09 I've got the tools compiling by copying the contents of the vmtruncate method before it was removed. See the attached patch. Please note that I have remove the call to the truncate method of the inode, as it does not exist anymore. I don't know if this is correct. ** Patch added: "open-vm-tools.patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1100096/+attachment/3486401/+files/open-vm-tools.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1100096 Title: open-vm-dkms 2012.10.14-874563-0ubuntu1: open-vm-tools kernel module failed to build To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1100096/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
