i need this too!

Black_Codec · 2007-02-16 11:32:57

If u know where I can download without registration I can try to do the PKGBUILD for u

tomk · 2007-02-16 11:40:05

Have you tried using the existing PKGBUILD in the AUR, with the pkgver changed as required?

stonecrest · 2007-02-19 08:57:56

Here you go. There's a non-fatal error when it tries to build a module which allows drag-n-drop between host and guest - it's not something I use so I'm too lazy to fix it ;P

As always, use at your own risk. This works for me.

It's working...

Acid7711 · 2007-02-25 18:41:17

It works, but you do need to change the source and the md5sums to match in the pkgbuild from:

http://download3.vmware.com/software/wkst/VMware-workstation-e.x.p-36983.i386.tar.gz

to

http://download3.vmware.com/software/wkst/VMware-workstation-e.x.p-39849.i386.tar.gz

They've updated the version, that's why. The version in the pkgbuild expired like 4 days ago or something. Just a headsup Sorry, I don't know the md5sums offhand that match. Not that hard to figure out though.

Thanks, files have been updated for the latest.

Hello stonecrest,

workstation 6 beta rc1 is out (no debugging code anymore-should be much faster):
http://download3.vmware.com/software/wk … 386.tar.gz
Could you please have a look for a corrected PKGBUILD? Would be a great help for me since the last build did not work for me on a fresh Arch 0.8 install with current kernel 2.6.20.4-1. VMWare didn't start up after invoking vmware-config.pl. I have no clue what was going wrong and do hope that the current release will get me up and running.

Thank you
Harvey

I just changed the url and md5sum in PGKBUILD...works for me
options line just altered because of some warning by adding to pacman...guess it works fine without

I have this message when I launch vmware, it can't found eula.txt, I have try to copy it but this don't work after ....

Can't found /opt/vmware/lib/share/EULA.txt

outerdark · 2007-04-04 07:57:23

With the updatet PKGBUILD?
Did you do this steps? First stopped vmware service, removed from pacman, installed the new version und run vmware-config.pl

atlas95 · 2007-04-04 09:39:38

yes, I have do this step
and one more times ... :s

http://download3.vmware.com/software/wk … 386.tar.gz

The newest version.

emphire · 2007-04-23 05:00:53

I hacked-up the PKGBUILD in the post above to install on x86_64 (I might have the dependencies a little wrong though). I'd pop it in AUR, but I'm not too sure what the naming convention is for x86_64-only PKGBUILDS. It uses some of the lib32 libs (but parts of it run in native x86_64).

Would I call it any of the following:
bin32-vmware-workstation
app32-vmware-worksation
vmware-workstation64
or something else?

It would be nice if AUR had seperate repositories for x86_64 like pacman packages (and abs?) do. Then I could just call it vmware-workstation and not worry about it clashing with a 32-bit version.

Based on stonecrests PKGBUILD I just changed checksum, URL and inserted a link for EULA. Works for me.

1. /etc/rc.d/vmware stop
2. remove vmware-workstation from pacman
3. makepkg for vmware
4. add to pacman
5. run vmware-config.pl

Here is an x86_64 version (based on the script above). Be sure to download http://people.os-zen.net/stonecrest/vmw … ion.tar.gz and replace the PKGBUILD file with this one. If anyone tells me what kind of naming convention to use, I'll add it to AUR.
