Can`t install VMware 10.0.2 on kernel 3.14.2

Hello everyone! I can`t isntall VMware on my arch. I followed the vmware wiki step by step;

1)  Install the dep
2)  Download the latest VMware Workstation
3)  Start the installation
4)  For the System service scripts directory, use /etc/init.d (the default).
5)  To build the modules from terminal

My kernel is 3.14.2-1-ARCH x86_64

So in wiki says:

On 3.14 kernels the vmci and vsock modules will fail to build.

ok! I followed all the steps:
1)

 
$ curl http://pastie.org/pastes/9090538/download -o /tmp/vmware-3.14.patch
$ cd /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source
# for i in vmci vmmon vmnet vsock; do tar -xf $i.tar; done
# patch -p0 -i /tmp/vmware-3.14.patch
# for i in *-only; do tar -cf ${i/-only}.tar $i; done
# rm -r *-only
 

and when build the modules:

# vmware-modconfig --console --install-all

IT FAILS

Re: Can`t install VMware 10.0.2 on kernel 3.14.2

thx karol for the reply. I installed gcc 4.9 and now i can build the modules.

Two services have been failed.

Starting VMware services:
   Virtual machine monitor                                             done
   Virtual machine communication interface                  failed
   VM communication interface socket family                failed
   Blocking file system                                                    done
   Virtual ethernet                                                           done
   VMware Authentication Daemon                                done

Anyone know why?
