Why are you using such an old version of vmware player? 6.0.4 build-2249910 is the current version and it's free. Why not upgrade?
My company does only allow to install this version. And the VMware website states that it is only free for private use.
well all player versions (except if you pay something) are only for private use, not matter if it's version 5 or 6, afaik.
Unfortunately I'm not helpful in this case, sorry.
I'm not sure. The patch should apply cleanly, and it has for me in the past, but on older kernels.
Closing. Please reopen if this is still an issue. Thanks.
I tried to install VMware Tools using your patches, because I was not able to install them unmodified. However I am not able to install them with the patches applied as well.
I am using VMware Player 5.0.4 which gives me VMwareTools-9.2.4-1398046.tar.gz. I tried to install them on a fresh Ubuntu 14.10 installation. uname -r gives me 3.16.0-23-generic.
I ran untar-and-patch-and-compile.sh on the VMware Tools and got following output:
When I ran the installer without patches applied, I got different error messages.
