VMware 9.0.2 vmnet fails to build on 3.13.7

darnit · 2014-03-28 21:06:17

So yet another thread and problem with VMware and I've tried all different kind of patches from all kind of places without any results.

As usual with an upgrade (Syu) I needed to rebuild vmblock and vmnet. vmblock built successfully using the available patches for 3.13, vmnet however didn't.

I've tried the solution listed on http://dandar3.blogspot.se/2014/01/vmwa … alpha.html, tried the one listed on the wiki (patch that came with vmblock), tried the patch in the AUR vmware-patch, but nothing. I've also tried reinstalling the packages listed in some threads that got it working for a few people, that did however not help me.

This is the log from the last run, I've used the patch that came with vmblock (the solution listed on the wiki), I'm using the stock kernel which means no netfilter.
