Hi Pavlinux!

    Since I am not a programmer but can probably learn how to create a patch from a diff file should I create a separate patch for each diff statement  and apply to each file mentioned in the text  or can I create a patch from the entire pastebin text e (but then what file/directory caould I apply it to??)

     Of course if you could provide instructions (or even a script! ) for compiling  a WS 10.1 installation on kernel 3.14.x that would be great!!

    TIA

[Pavlinux]

man man

man patch

man tar

man find

Thanks.  I'll  do some research

@mfelker, the diff _is_ the patch and already includes all the modules. You can apply it in /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/. After you've extracted the .tars, do: patch -p1 -i <name>

First add this patches: Vmware Workstation 10.0.1 build-1379776 patch for Linux kernel 3.13

[mfelker]

OK  I will try this when time permits.  Thank you  for clarifying my misunderstanding  of diif vs patch.

[Poloisfej]

@Pavlinux, that's the same patch for vmnet (not vmci) already included in this one?

EDIT: if someone is getting:

/tmp/modconfig-5Nq5Lx/vmci-only/linux/driver.c:740:12: error: incompatible types when assigning to type ‘VMCIHostUser’ from type ‘kuid_t’

user = current_uid();

or/and

/tmp/modconfig-KpbL9l/vsock-only/linux/notify.c:519:4: error: too many arguments to function ‘sk->sk_data_ready’

sk->sk_data_ready(sk, 0);

the attached patch(s) fixed it for me as well
