unable to build modules even on 6.8.9 #246

Closed Hyphaed closed 1 month ago

Hyphaed commented 1 month ago

I'm on Ubuntu 6.8.9 gcc version 14.0.1

I'm trying to build the vmware modules without luck

Note: switching to 'w17.5.1'.

You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by switching back to a branch.

If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -c with the switch command. Example:

  git switch -c <new-branch-name>

Or undo this operation with:

  git switch -

Turn off this advice by setting config variable advice.detachedHead to false

Please read the instructions in INSTALL file. Tag w17.5.1 marks the unpatched source, i.e. exactly the same as you get from VMware. You need current head of workstation-17.5.1 branch instead.
