Question

在18.04上安装VMware：无法构建vmmon。

10

我正在尝试按照https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware/Player中的说明安装VMware。

但是我遇到一个错误提示，告诉我要查看一个日志文件，其中包含以下内容：

Extracting the vmmon source from "/usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmmon.tar".
Successfully extracted the vmmon source.
Building module with command "/usr/bin/make -j4 -C /tmp/modconfig-GoVdrH/vmmon-only auto-build HEADER_DIR=/lib/modules/4.15.0-22-generic/build/include CC=/usr/bin/gcc IS_GCC_3=no"
Failed to build vmmon.  Failed to execute the build command.

为了准确找出问题所在，我在命令行上运行了vmware-modconfig --console --install-all，它显示了以下错误信息：

./arch/x86/include/asm/processor-flags.h:39:0: note: this is the location of the previous definition

如何修复这个问题，或者让隐式函数声明和不兼容的指针类型不被视为错误？还有没有更简单的方法在18.04上安装最新的VMware？

注意：与VMWare Workstation Pro 12 on Ubuntu 16.04 cannot compile vmmon不同的错误。

#!/bin/bash
VMWARE_VERSION=`vmware-installer -l |grep workstat|awk '{print $2}' |awk 'BEGIN {FS="."}{print "workstation-"$1"."$2"."$3}'`
echo $VMWARE_VERSION
TMP_FOLDER=/tmp/patch-vmware
rm -fdr $TMP_FOLDER
mkdir -p $TMP_FOLDER
cd $TMP_FOLDER
git clone https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules.git
cd $TMP_FOLDER/vmware-host-modules
git checkout $VMWARE_VERSION
git fetch
make
sudo make install
sudo rm /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libz.so.1/libz.so.1
sudo ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libz.so.1 
/usr/lib/vmware/lib/libz.so.1/libz.so.1
sudo /etc/init.d/vmware restart

这在我的 Fedora 30 和 Workstation 15.1.0 上工作。

1你能否添加一些关于脚本的操作和方式的细节？ - Simon Sudler

这是与上面显示的脚本相同的版本，但可以“检测”已安装的VMware Workstation版本。 - Raul Peñaloza

我找到了一个解决方案，并根据mkucebek的github源代码创建了一个脚本文件。

你需要创建一个包含这个内容的文件，并在每次需要时运行它（通常是在安装新内核时）。

#!/bin/bash
VMWARE_VERSION=workstation-12.5.9
TMP_FOLDER=/tmp/patch-vmware
rm -fdr $TMP_FOLDER
mkdir -p $TMP_FOLDER
cd $TMP_FOLDER
git clone https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules.git
cd $TMP_FOLDER/vmware-host-modules
git checkout $VMWARE_VERSION
git fetch
make
sudo make install
sudo rm /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libz.so.1/libz.so.1
sudo ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libz.so.1 
/usr/lib/vmware/lib/libz.so.1/libz.so.1
sudo /etc/init.d/vmware restart

然后，您只需启动VMware Workstation而无需构建模块。
