问题
Neither the vmware supplied hgfs module nor the hgfs module from the open-vm-tools compiles on my machine running a 3.12 linux kernel.
The kernel was obviously configured with UIDGID_STRICT_TYPE_CHECKS and the module is not using those types.
How can I get this resolved?
回答1:
Well, for the time beeing, until a proper fix has been released, you can go, grab and try my
modified hgfs module.
It compiles here and works so far without issues.
Anyway, use is at your own risk, i just offer it here to spare some of us the time digging into the code ...
replace the original vmhgfs.tar in
/usr/lib/vmware-tools/modules/source
with the modified one and run vmware-config-tools.pl which should now
successfully compile the module.
