After upgrading to kernel 4.13.3-1-ARCH the VMware modules were not compiling. The following error message was in my console:
"error: passing argument 1 of ‘atomic_inc’ from incompatible pointer type [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types]"
I was able to workaround the compile errors for vmnet with a fresh install, and then using the vmware-patch file in the AUR. After the new modules were installed, and also following the Wiki instructions to launch VMware, because no GUI would appear:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VM … s_launched
VMware was able to launch, but when trying to start the virtual machine the following message is displayed:
"The virtual machine is unable to reserve memory, if selecting Retry does not work, try closing programs
on the host machine to free first."
A bit of searching and the following link offers a patch to vmnet, and vmmon.
https://communities.vmware.com/thread/568089 For the vmnet module patch
and
https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host … 0848c985f1 For the vmmon module patch
After the usual,
# vmware-modconfig --console --install-all
All the modules compile and VMware is behaving fine for me at the moment.
I hope this helps anybody that might have had the same problem.
