Vmware workstation 8.0 安装Fedora core 5.0 的共享文件夹

FC 5.0是Vmware workstation 6.0时安装的，到Vmware workstation 8.0是vmware tools更新出了问题。

出现如下信息：
/tmp/vmware-root/modules/vmhgfs-only/dir.c: 在函数 ‘HgfsDirLlseek’ 中：
/tmp/vmware-root/modules/vmhgfs-only/dir.c:697: 错误：‘struct inode’ 没有名为 ‘i_sem’ 的成员

2.6.15的struct inode’ 有名为 ‘i_sem’ 的成员，2.6.16改成了i_mutex. FC5 实际是2.6.15的内核，但是吸收了一些补丁,已经改成了i_mutex。

所以我们只要修改vmhgfs-only/dir.c，将里面的16改成15即可
#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(2, 6, 16)
   mtx = &inode->i_sem;
#else
   mtx = &inode->i_mutex;
#endif

具体的做法参见

If you’re trying to install vmware-tools inside a linux guest and get the dreaded
super.c:73: error: unknown field ‘clear_inode’ specified in initializer
error while compiling vmhgfs for shared folder support (which I use a lot), this will help (thanks to Anjo from ):

• unpack /usr/lib/vmware-tools/modules/source/vmhgfs.tar to somewhere
• open vmhgfs-only/super.c in your favorite text editor
• edit from #ifndef VMW_USE_IGET_LOCKED
  .read_inode = HgfsReadInode,
  #endif
  .clear_inode = HgfsClearInode,
  .put_super = HgfsPutSuper,
  .statfs = HgfsStatfs,
  };
  

  to (note .clear_inode -> .evict_inode)

  #ifndef VMW_USE_IGET_LOCKED
  .read_inode = HgfsReadInode,
  #endif
  .evict_inode = HgfsClearInode,
  .put_super = HgfsPutSuper,
  .statfs = HgfsStatfs,
  };
  
• repack vmhgfs.tar including edited super.c
• execute vmware-config-tools.pl
