looks like vmware-modules-279.1 is not yet officially compatible with your very recent 3.12.x kernel version.

You may either use an older kernel or try to patch vmware-modules. Here are some open gentoo bug reports adressing issues with that kernel version where you might find patches: #488072, #483410. Maybe this patch can help too.

excellent, thanks.
i will try to patch.

i need some detailed istructions to apply the 3.12 patch
some one help me
thanks

If you want to try the the ebuild patch + source code path from bug #488072 you should copy the existing vmware-modules ebuild dir into an overlay and then apply the ebuild patch to the ebuild file. Copy the source code patch to the files/ subdir.

Assuming you have a local overlay in /usr/local/portage:

Code: Select all

mkdir -p /usr/local/portage/app-emulation
cp -dpRv /usr/portage/app-emulation/vmware-modules/ /usr/local/portage/app-emulation
cd /usr/local/portage/app-emulation/vmware-modules/
patch -p0 < [EBUILD PATCH FILENAME]
cp [VMWARE SRC PATCH FILES] /usr/local/portage/app-emulation/vmware-modules/files/

If you do not have your local overlay setup yet, you have to set the PORTDIR_OVERLAY variable in /etc/portage/make.conf to /usr/local/portage.

More info on local overlay are at: http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Overlay

If you want to try a patch to the upstream source, like the patch from https://github.com/elitak/ports-2012/co ... f3df924a28, you could as well use the user patches dir in /etc/portage/patches. Just copy all patches that should be applied to /etc/portage/patches/app-emulation/vmware-modules/:

Code: Select all

mkdir -p /etc/portage/patches/app-emulation/vmware-modules/
cp <DOWNLOADED PATCH FILE> /etc/portage/patches/app-emulation/vmware-modules/

See http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki//etc/portage/patches and http://dilfridge.blogspot.de/2012/04/ne ... es-in.html for more info on that dir.

If this does not work I would suggest downgrading the kernel to a previous version for the time beeing, if you are not in desperate need for new kernel features from that version. As soon as a new virtualbox-modules version is out that is compatible, you can upgrade again. At least that way you get a stable and somewhat tested version.

padoor · Post by **padoor** » Thu Jan 02, 2014 8:20 am

it does not bother to look at the patch either way
tried making local overlay
tried using the /etc/portage/patches
probably it needs much more than the simple ways to apply the patch

Does portage complain about errors in your config?

Because I forget an important step: If you have modified (patched) an ebuild, you need to update the file hashed, otherwise portage will refuse to use the ebuild. You can do so by:

Code: Select all

ebuild digest /usr/local/portage/.../<modified ebuild file name.ebuild>

If your local overlay is properly configured (i.e. the PORTDIR_OVERLAY variable set), portage should prefer the overlay version over the portage tree one, as long as the version is bigger or equal.

If you do a:

Code: Select all

emerge --verbose --ask vmware-modules

it should indicate using the overlay one by the suffix "::local" or "::localOverlay" after the version number. Does it show that?

Regarding the /etc/portage/patches: Did you add the /etc/portage/bashrc file as described in http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki//etc/portage/patches? If not, add it and try again if it works.

First you need to modify the ebuild to actually apply the patch you copied into files. In bug #483410, comment 3-4 there is a modified ebuild or a patch to modify the ebuild.

Then you have to give the "ebuild digest" an existing ebuild file with a valid version. "vmware-modules-test.ebuild" will not work. Just use the ebuild with the leatest version you just copied from the portage tree, modify it to apply the patch you copied to files/, then call a "ebuild digest vmware-modules-<VER>.ebuild" on that ebuild file.

i have done exactly said in comment 12 https://github.com/funtoo/ports-2012/pull/5

i don't understand what is problem
what it means by x-portage ?

that is why i have taken from comment 12

"x-portage" refers to your overlay, it is the name portage has chosen for your overlay, as you don't have one set by yourself. (which you can do by adding a file /usr/local/portage/profile/repo_name with just one line containing a custom name in it).

The first warning you see:

Code: Select all

!!! Repository 'x-portage' is missing masters attribute in '/usr/local/portage/metadata/layout.conf'
!!! Set 'masters = gentoo' in this file for future compatibility

is not really an issue. You should do as it tells you, (create a file called /usr/local/portage/metadata/layout.conf and put a line in there "masters=gentoo"), but that should not make a difference. As the message states, this is for future compatibility with portage versions that may not set this automatically anymore. It basically tells portage to use the main gentoo portage tree as "master" for this one, i.e. use eclasses of thaet tree. More info on that is here: http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Repository_ ... ayout.conf

The actual error is this:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/portage/app-emulation/vmware-modules/vmware-modules-279.1.ebuild: line 86: warning: here-document at line 79 delimited by end-of-file (wanted `EOF')
/usr/local/portage/app-emulation/vmware-modules/vmware-modules-279.1.ebuild: line 87: syntax error: unexpected end of file

Looks like the patch broke something while patching the ebuild file. There is probably some quot character or something at line 79 that has no closing quote. If you find the problem try to correct it and call the ebuild digest again. If not, post your patched ebuild file here.

ahh, there is the error. The heredoc text block in the src_install() method is does not end properly, as the error message says.

The "EOF" in the 3rd line from the bottom should not be indented, it must start the line. Just remove all white spaces / tabs before the EOF, then it should work. Like this:

wow that is very fast thinking and right to the point.
vmware-modules-279.1 merged nicely for kernel-3.12.6
thank you very much. Kompi

also i learnt some more about local poratge usage

As explained here copying both patches into /etc/portage/patches/app-emulation/vmware-modules solved to emerge app-emulation/vmware-modules-279.1 with running sys-kernel/ck-sources-3.12.5 here.

TripleD · Post by **TripleD** » Sat Jan 18, 2014 4:40 am

I've followed the patching advice above and although it gets a little further into the compile, it cuts out again. Any suggestions? I get the same result when putting the patches in the portage directory "vmware-modules/files" and changing the ebuild.

I am getting the same error on a 3.10.25 kernel. there is already a patch for 3.10 in portage app-emulation/vmware-modules/files.

The patches here are for 3.11 and 3.12.

I filed a new bug https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=498520 but I get the exact same emerge results as above.

njcwotx · Post by **njcwotx** » Sun Jan 19, 2014 9:33 pm

out of desperation I tried the patches above. I really dont have much of a clue as to what I was doing when it comes to ebuild patches

but, I was able to modify the ebuild to bring in the 311 and 312 version of the patches when I emerged. I could see it in the build process as using the patch but it still failed.

Finally, success! I commented out my CFLAGS in make.conf which got it to install.

Give it a try.

Sadly, it did nto work for me, I still get the same incompatible pointer types.

I will keep trying, I tried every version of workstation, each one pulled in a different version of modules but none worked and had same error.

Have a look over here, maybe it will help you out.

Saw them and tried them, they are the patches I mentioned in my previous post. Those are for newer kernels in unstable tree. However, I modified ebuild to apply them on 3.10.25 and redigested them and saw them apply during emerge and they still failed. I cleared the changes and resync'd the portage tree.

I have a case opened and am waiting to see what comes up.

I have tried ever version of vmware-workstation and each version takes a different version of modules, they all fail the same way. Incompatible pointer errors.

Found this bug searching for the "incompatible types when assigning to type 'kgid_t' from type 'int' " error.

https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=462666

It was for an older version of modules, so I installed the patch and the modules for 271.2 were pulled in and installed workstation 9, which had another issue with icu....

https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=465126

Undaunted, I renamed 271-unerns.patch to 279-userns.patch and added

Code: Select all

kernel_is ge 3 8 0 && epatch "${FILESDIR}/${PV_MAJOR}-userns.patch"

to the src_prepare block in 279.1 ebuild so it pulls in patches and redigested it.

Its a hack job on my part, I only know enough to be dangerous, but it did work.

I have a bug started, hopefully it will also get a correcly formed and properly adjusted patch for 279 soon.

now that 3.13.0 kernel is out, i hope a patch is made for this kernel too.
