I just succesfully installed vmware-modules-279.2 with stable kernel 3.12.13-gentoo on x86_64 using the two patches mentioned. In full:
| Code: | # mkdir -p /etc/portage/patches/app-emulation/vmware-modules-279.2
# cd /etc/portage/patches/app-emulation/vmware-modules-279.2
# wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kitech/vmware-modules/master/279-vmblock-3.11.patch
# wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kitech/vmware-modules/master/279-vmblock-3.12.patch
# cd -
# emerge -v app-emulation/vmware-modules |
I hope this may be of use to others. |

bpaddock,
Not sure if you still need an answer, but I will post for others.
Post by AstroFloyd didn't work for me either, I was able to install vmware-modules using this method
And also I had to downgrade from 3.15.x to 3.14.15 kernel. |

It compiles OK for me but one of the modules can not be loaded.
| Code: | modprobe vmblock
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'vmblock': Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) |

Alas I have not got this to work, nor any of the other solutions in this thread.
Why is this such a pain in the ass?
I'm now running:
| Code: |
uname -a
3.14.14-gentoo #1 SMP Sun Aug 17 09:07:07 EDT 2014 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3470 CPU @ 3.20GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
|
If I put only the 279-linux-3.14 patch in /etc/portage/patch ... everything compiles but vmblock will not load.
Any other suggestions in this thread, or the one for .15/.16 thread, all give me "file not found" type errors during the patch command.
Typical error from either fix.sh, or trying to run the 2791-r1 ebuild found in the .15/.16 bug report:
| Code: |
***** 279-makefile-kernel-dir.patch *****
PWD: /var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/vmware-modules-279.2-r1/work
=========================================
PATCH COMMAND: patch -p0 -g0 -E --no-backup-if-mismatch < '/usr/local/portage/app-emulation/vmware-modules/files/279-makefile-kernel-dir.patch'
=========================================
can't find file to patch at input line 5
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------
|diff --git a/vmblock-only/Makefile b/vmblock-only/Makefile
|index 2b81323..746c8b8 100644
|--- a/vmblock-only/Makefile
|+++ b/vmblock-only/Makefile
--------------------------
|
Suggestions? |

In case anyone finds it useful, I'm having success running the 279.3-r1 version of vmware-modules found in the 'vmware' overlay and the latest kernel (3.17.1).
Exact versions I'm using:
app-emulation/vmware-workstation-10.0.3.1895310
app-emulation/vmware-tools-9.6.2.1744117
app-emulation/vmware-modules-279.3-r1 (from the vmware overlay)
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.17.1-r1
Here's a screenshot in case it explains it better: http://i.imgur.com/v9jnSDB.png
