FIXED: Upgraded Linux Mint 18 to Kernal 4.13.0-36-generic and can no longer compile VMNET
FIXED: Found at GitHub - Tutmos/vmware
Did a standard update and upgrade yesterday, thought nothing of it. Today on startup of VMware Workstation the VMware Kernel Module Updater launched. I received an error where VMNET failed to build. I saw a couple of posts on older Kernels but I am wondering if there is something I am missing. Thanks in advance.
Here is the log;
