Re: vmnet fails to build on kernel 3.13.0-1-generi...

lfaraone · ‎01-11-2014

vmnet fails to build on an Ubuntu trusty system running 3.13.0-1-generic, although the module builds fine on earlier kernels.

Admittedly, 14.04 isn't anywhere near release, and is most certainly not a supported platform for Workstation 10.0.1. That said, if there's a straightforward fix I can apply to enable building the module, that'd be nice.

Build log below:

AFFAIK there is no patch for kernel 3.13. I am using Ubuntu 14.04 myself. Curiously, as you may have found out from the most recent updates there is a kernel 3.13.0-2-generic. However that's pretty weird as kernel 3.13 final has not been released on kernel.org. A response I received on the Ubuntu forums was not very helpful here.

We will see when 3.13 is declared stable by Linux

I am unable to build the vmnet module on 3.13 and now i regret the decision to upgrade to 14.04. i've also attached the build error for reference by others.

I have found working solution on this Dan Dar3 blog:

http://dandar3.blogspot.cz/

I have not used patch command, while this gave me error in patching, another side i have inserted if sequnces manualy into file. It's simple:

#if ...

original value

#else

new value

#endif

And after that, compiling vmnet is working

Thanks to Dan Dar3
