This is a note for patching VMware tool for linux kernel 2.6.37/38 guest OS while using VMware Fusion.
Here is my environment for your reference.
· Host OS: Mac OS 10.6.6
· Guest OS: Ubuntu 10.10 + Kernel Updated (2.6.38)
· VMware Fusion: 3.1.2 (332101)
Since the vmware-tool in vmware fusion is not aware of the changes of the latest kernel structure, it needs to be patched in order to get correct kernel module for vmware tool such like file sharing, clipboard sharing, etc.
Here is the walk-through steps:
1. Install VMware Tool
2. Copy vmware-tools-distrib directory into a local directory (say, ~/tmp/vmware-tools-distrib) by
mkdir -p ~/tmp/ && tar -C ~/tmp -xvzf /media/VMware/ Tools/VMwareTools-8.4.5-332101.tar.gz
3. cd ~/tmp/vmware-tools-distrib/lib/modules/source
4. tar -xvf vmci.tar && tar -xvf vmhgfs.tar && tar -xvf vsock.tar
5. copy patch files (0001-vmwaretool-vmci-Linux-2.6.37.patch, 0001-vmwaretool-vmhgfs-Linux-2.6.37.patch, 0001-vmwaretool-vsock-Linux-2.6.37.patch) into ~/tmp/vmware-tools-distrib/lib/modules/source
6. cd vmci-only && git apply --ignore-whitespace ../0001-vmwaretool-vmci-Linux-2.6.37.patch && cd ..
7. cd vmhgfs-only && git apply --ignore-whitespace ../0001-vmwaretool-vmhgfs-Linux-2.6.37.patch && cd ..
8. cd vsock-only && git apply --ignore-whitespace ../0001-vmwaretool-vsock-Linux-2.6.37.patch && cd ..
9. rm -rf vmci.tar vmhgfs.tar vsock.tar
10. tar -cvf vmci.tar vmci-only && tar -cvf vmhgfs.tar vmhgfs-only && tar -cvf vsock.tar vsock-only
11. rm -rf vmci-only vmhgfs-only vsock-only
12. Install the vmware tool by
cd ~/tmp/vmware-tools-distrib && ./vmware-install.pl
