Hello.
Everything is in the title. I wanted to recompile vware tools because copy and paste was not working anymore after kernel upgrade. But the recompile failed and I lost hgfs support.
Here is the error :

I think the problem should lie in version numbering test. For security reason, Debian security team backport some changes to kernel, and it seems there is a conflict there between the different numberings
I've tried for the whole afternoon everything I googled. Usually, I've always managed theses three last years to find alone a solution. But
* installing debian open-vm-tools does not work
* the patches from rasa/vmware-tools-patches · GitHub neither
After a whole afternoon, I decided to call for your wisdom.
Thanks in advance
Laurent
