vmware在2.6.20内核下编译出错的解决方法

安装中错误信息：

Using 2.6.x kernel build system.
make: Entering directory `/tmp/vmware-config0/vmmon-only'
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.20-5-generic/build/include/.. SUBDIRS=$PWD SRCROOT=$PWD/. modules

以上的compat_kernel.h定义与2.6.20的内核有不兼容的地方，那我们就来修改compat_kernel.h使其与compat_kernel.h与内核兼容就可以了。

首先备份原始文件，然后解压vmmon.tar：

cd /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source
sudo cp vmmon.tar vmmon.tar.old
sudo tar xvf vmmon.tar
sudo gedit vmmon-only/include/compat_kernel.h

将21行:

static inline _syscall1(int, compat_exit, int, exit_code);

替换为：

#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(2,6,19)
 static inline _syscall1(int, compat_exit, int, exit_code);
#endif

然后重新打包vmmon.tar:

tar cvf vmmon.tar vmmon-only
rm -rf vmmon-only

继续编译,vmmon模块是编译通过了，可是vmnet模块又出现了如下的错误：

make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.20-5-generic'
  CC [M]  /tmp/vmware-config1/vmnet-only/driver.o

/tmp/vmware-config1/vmnet-only/userif.c:629: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once

make: *** [vmnet.ko] 错误 2
make: Leaving directory `/tmp/vmware-config1/vmnet-only'

现在是vmnet的问题，同样的我们要修改不兼容的代码，然后重新编译。

首先备份原始的vmnet.tar，并解压：

cd /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source
sudo cp vmnet.tar vmnet.tar.old
sudo tar xvf vmnet.tar
sudo gedit vmnet-only/userif.c和bridge.c

将其中的CHECKSUM_HW替换成CHECKSUM_COMPLETE。

然后重新打包：

tar cvf vmnet.tar vmmon-only
rm -rf vmnet-only

再次编译就一切OK了！
