Shared folder support #1

Closed soakbot closed 9 years ago

Creator: Vincent Duvert URL: http://dev.osdrawer.net/issues/223

Ken Kato's VMW Backdoor (http://chitchat.at.infoseek.co.jp/) provides functions to access VMWare shared folders (folder list/read/write operations). A way to provide file sharing between Haiku and the host OS would be to write a filesystem driver for Haiku using these functions.

Fixed in the last merge.

@waddlesplash I'm a bit confused by your last comment. Was it about fixing shared folders support? The README states the shared folders is a planned feature. Which one is correct?

waddlesplash commented 2 years ago

The README is outdated, shared folders should indeed be supported.

They don't work for me at least with the 64-bit version of Haiku (running on a macOS host):

UPDATE

Okay, that explains it: https://github.com/haikuports/haikuports/blob/master/app-emulation/vmware-addons/vmware_addons-1.2.1.recipe#L59-L62
