Already using that patch.  Not a fix for the current problems.

>  Already using that patch.  Not a fix for the current problems.
Same problem here, I'm wondering whether the issue is possibly gcc
rather than the kernel?

Assuming that you're seeing bunches of errors relating to unused
parameters, do you recall whether they weren't there before or whether
they were there but ignored previously?

After updating to latest gcc, I rebooted
.2990 and ran
'vmware-config.pl'.  No compilation messages, and vmware runs fine.

Doesn't look like a compiler issue.....

Ok, thanks for that, I'll look at what's changed in the kernel headers
in that case.

Well it looks like it is the CFLAGS parameters in the kernel Makefile that 
is causing the problem. I.e. 
/usr/src/kernels/2.6.20-1.2997.fc7-x86_64/Makefile or 
/usr/src/kernels/2.6.20-1.2999.fc7-x86_64/Makefile.  You need to replace 
the -Wextra parameter with -Wundef that is around line 318 in the Makefile. 
This will allow VMWare tp build again without an error.

CFLAGS          := -Wall -Wundef -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs \
                   -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common \
     -Werror-implicit-function-declaration \
     -Wundef -Wno-unused-parameter -Wno-missing-field-initializers
##     -Wextra -Wno-unused-parameter -Wno-missing-field-initializers

Thanks.  Unfortunately I'm trying to build against
/usr/src/kernels/2.6.20-1.2925.fc6-i586 and the parameters you refer to are not in the
Makefile.

There is probably a slight difference in the kernel configuration between the 
set of C header files you specified and your running kernel.  You may want to 
rebuild a kernel based on that directory, or specify another directory.

This was the cause of the problem:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2007-March/msg02775.html

The wrong kernel-devel is being installed using yum.  I removed kernel-devel-i586 and
manually installed kernel-devel.i686 and it builds fine.

I've filed a bug against against yum

Why in the name of things unholy are they compiling C++ using the
kernel Makefile ?

No wait, I really don't want to know.

can't say something to kernels 2997 & 2999, but for previous:

works.
there is also a patch version at vmware mail lists.

keep in mind:
one of the new wmware-player versions implements a sort of 
WGA/licence-key checkup.

try virtualbox. gpl !

I'm seeing the same problem on FC6 and haven't been able to find a fix yet on
google.

With VMwareWorkstation-5.5.3-34685 and running the 2.6.20-1.2925.fc6 I cannot rebuild the
modules after applying the manual fixes (above) and trying a fresh install of vmware and
applying the any-any patch.

I had the same problem on FC6.  Check out
http://fcp.surfsite.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=35020&fo...

and then run the script in
http://ftp.cvut.cz/vmware/vmware-any-any-update108.tar.gz and download and
install the new version of VMWare server, 1.0.2.  That worked for me.

I'm running vmware Workstation... not vmware Server and have already tried the fixes
on that page :(

okay. i'm running VMware-server-1.0.2-39867.i386 and a 2.6.20-1.2925.fc6 
kernel.

the fix/workaround above doesn't work with the current f7 kernel.
i hadn't test it before sending my mail, but afterwards.

sorry again.

- to me today, it seem it's bad to jump out of the bed, in the computer, 
answering on emails, before reading the whole thread. my fault !-


anyway, i can't believe that the modules from server and workstation are 
that different.

i tested the last evaluation VMware Workstation 5.5.3, some days/weeks 
ago, and if iirc, i had to fix vmmon module the some way, but moved the 
workstation to /dev/null, realizing that this sh*t want to phone with M$.


anyway, while writing this, i see there is the fix on the list...
