VMWare Workstation 7.x PKGBUILD

Has anyone tested if the VMWare Workstation 6.x PKGBUILD present in the AUR, also works with 7.x?

Re: VMWare Workstation 7.x PKGBUILD

I tried to modify the previous pkgbuilds,but i couldn't build the packages..
1)The .bundle file can be extracted,but doing so with makepkg gives some error "magic number does not match"
2)It looks like Vmware workstation and vmware player can't be split
3)I don't know if the old pkgbuilds need further modifications

Here there are the not working modified pkgbuilds

while when running it in a standard console works,so i think it's something related to makepkg..but i don't know what

Re: VMWare Workstation 7.x PKGBUILD

Could it be a fakeroot issue?

Yes,probably,it tries to write a log file in var/log so it fails,because the user hasn't this right.
When running --asroot the package below (tested x86_64 version) is built,but the program still doesn't work;the modules build ok.

I'm not sure if making a pacman package is something useful,because the .bundle file is easy to install,and to unistall.
