[gentoo-user] vmware-server + gentoo kernel 2.6.28 - compiling problem

[Pongracz Istvan]

Hi,

I tried to compile vmware-server-1.0.8.126538 with
vmware-modules-1.0.0.15-r1 but compiling vmmon failed.

I got this error message:
/var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/vmware-modules-1.0.0.15-r1/work/vmmon-only/./include/compat_semaphore.h:5:27: error: asm/semaphore.h: File or directory not found

I tried with gcc 3.4.6, 4.2.4, 4.3.2, all of them failed.
I guess, this problem related to the kernel.

Is that possible to use vmware-server with the latest kernel?

Thank you,
István
