Workstation 10.0.4 Kernel Module(s) fail compile on Debian Jessie Using Kernel 3.17

Is the community patch for 10.0.3 compatible with 10.0.4?

what about linking the patch you are talking about?

i found only a 10.0.1 patch which no longer works and contains way too much crap at all since Kernel 3.17 don't need anything compiled that vmnet and vmmon, the rest is in the upstream kernel and only vmnet fails to build

that's the complex one not working here with 10.0.4 and Fedora 20 3.17.2  (patch don't apply)

the archlinux patch is far better and simpler
