자유로운 opensource 이야기

얼마전 필요에 의해서 VMWare 7.1을 설치하고 우분투 10.10을 게스트OS로 설치했다.
작업할 게 있어서 Win7(호스트OS)의 특정 폴더를 공유 폴더로 설정하고 재부팅...
/mnt/hgfs가 비어 있었다.
vmware-tools 는 당연 설치되어 있었다.
(내가 설치한 것은 아니고 요즘 VMWare가 너무 좋아서 게스트OS설치할때 자동으로 설치된 것이다.)

$ vmware-hgfsclient 제대로 공유폴더를 보여준다.

무슨 문제인지 몰라서 구글링 시작

헛, vmware-tools의 버그란다. 그것도 아주 작은 버그...

At the moment, the vmware-tools provided with workstation 6.0.2 do not compile under Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10.
Only one module fails: vmhgfs. This module allow one to share a folder on the host with the guest.

This tutorial will show the few changes required in order to be able to compile this module, and therefore ease file sharing between the host and the guest.

The original error that one might get while compiling the tools will have the following:

CC [M] /tmp/vmware-config0/vmhgfs-only/filesystem.o
/tmp/vmware-config0/vmhgfs-only/filesystem.c: In function ‘HgfsInitFileSystem':
/tmp/vmware-config0/vmhgfs-only/filesystem.c:582: error: too few arguments to function ‘kmem_cache_create'
/tmp/vmware-config0/vmhgfs-only/filesystem.c:593: error: too few arguments to function ‘kmem_cache_create'

In this tutorial, I will consider that the vmware-tools's .tar.gz is already untarred in your home dir and that user can gain root credential with sudo.

First of all, you need to get in the working directory of vmware-tools:

$ cd ~/vmware-tools-distrib

Then, we will back up the old vmhgfs.tar:

$ mv lib/modules/source/vmhgfs.tar vmhgfs.tar.orig

Now, we untar vmhgfs.tar.orig:

$ tar -xvf vmhgfs.tar.orig

Now edit vmhgfs-only/compat_slab.h:

$ vim vmhgfs-only/compat_slab.h

and change:

if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(2, 6, 22) || defined(VMW_KMEMCR_HAS_DTOR)

with

if LINUX_VERSION_CODE <= KERNEL_VERSION(2, 6, 22) || defined(VMW_KMEMCR_HAS_DTOR)

Finally, re-tar vmhgfs-only directory in lib/modules/source/vmhgfs.tar:

$ tar -cvf lib/modules/source/vmhgfs.tar vmhgfs-only

Then copy this new tar into /usr/lib/vmware-tools/modules/source/ :

$ sudo cp lib/modules/source/vmhgfs.tar /usr/lib/vmware-tools/modules/source/vmhgfs.tar

That's it, now you can re-run the tools config script:

$ sudo vmware-config-tools.pl
