Hi,
I've recently converted over to Debian Testing and getting VMware Workstation functional is the one remaining issue that I know about.
I'm using Workstation 16.2.4 build-20089737 and have tried with module code from mkubecek/vmware-host-modules as well as the module code from the package.
I currently have Kernel 5.18.5 and 5.18.14 installed and see the same errors on both. GCC --version is Debian 11.3.0-5
When I try to compile the modules, I'm getting as error indicating that stddef.h and stdarg.h so not exist.
The files do exist on the system.
/usr/src/linux-headers-5.18.0-2-common/include/linux/stdarg.h <<-- 5.18.5
/usr/src/linux-headers-5.18.0-3-common/include/linux/stdarg.h <<-- 5.18.14
I've tried over riding the include search path with:
export CPATH=/usr/src/linux-headers-5.18.0-2-common/include/linux/ or -3 as appropriate.
I'm getting the following types of errors:
/home/terry/src/vmware-host-modules-16.2.4/vmware-host-modules-16.2.4/vmmon-only/linux/hostif.c: In function ‘isVAReadable’:

I don't understand the code well enough to fix this...
Any suggestions please?
Regards,
Terry
