Hi,
unfortunately i had to update my system to the latest kernel which was compiled with gcc 5.1
I also installed gcc 5.1
gcc --version
gcc (SUSE Linux) 5.1.1 20150622 [gcc-5-branch revision 224722]
Still i get this one while trying to run vmware
./vmware-modconfig --console --install-all
Failed to get gcc information.
Please help,
Gruna
me too!
i have exactly the same problem!
but it should work because kernel and installed gcc fit together:
Kernel 4.1.0 is compiled with gcc 5.1.1:
cat /proc/version
Linux version 4.1.0-2.g6c74958-desktop (geeko@buildhost) (gcc version 5.1.1 20150622 [gcc-5-branch revision 224722] (SUSE Linux) ) #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Jun 24 03:16:43 UTC 2015 (6c74958)
and i have installed gcc 5.1.1:
gcc --version
gcc (SUSE Linux) 5.1.1 20150622 [gcc-5-branch revision 224722]

but it is not working.
Exactly, i get an error that vmware is not able to find gcc 5.1.1 allthough this is exactly what is installed on the system.
I am also able to compile other things, like display driver for example.
Not a single idea?
i solved it by manually compiling the modules vmnet and vmmon and copying the results to /lib/modules/4.1.0-2.g6c74958-desktop/misc.
Hmm. could you provide some work instruction for it?
Many Many thanks
Thank you for the instructions, spot on. On an OpenSUSE Tumbleweed system I had to modify the driver path and do:
cp vmmon.o /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/misc/vmmon.ko
cp vmnet.o /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/misc/vmnet.ko
Thank you again for the detailed instructions, I'm getting closer now.
Thank you for this hint
In addition: on my SUSE 13.1, Kernel 4.1.4-1.ga37e14f-desktop: I must use "make -B" to compile.
