Log:
Dear VMware Workstation users around the world, here is an upgrade of
VMware Workstation FreeBSD-guest related ports for VMware Workstation
5.5.0 build 18463.
New features are:
- Spell "VMware Workstation" appropriately.
There are much VMware products, it would be the time that I have
to spell VMware Workstation as VMware Workstation.
- Support FreeBSD/amd64 since 64-bit binaries are provided from VMware.
I don't test any of 64-bit related portion, since I have no
FreeBSD/amd64 machine. If something trouble please email me.
- New variable "WITH_VMWARE_GTK" (emulators/vmware-tools5)
Install gtk version of VMware Tools if defined
(add more dependencies on other gtk-related ports)
- New variable "WITH_VMWARE_VMXNET" (emulators/vmware-guestd5)
Install "vmxnet.ko" kernel module (vmxnet driver) if defined
Usage:
- shutdown FreeBSD guest VM
- add following line to FreeBSD guest VM config file
Ethernet0.virtualDev="vmxnet"
- Boot FreeBSD guest VM
- load vmxnet.ko kernel module
- ifconfig vxn0 ...
New rc.conf variable "vmware_guest_vmxnet_enable" is also added
to vmware-guestd.sh to load kernel module at startup. However,
${PREFIX}/etc/rc.d/vmware-guestd.sh run _after_ /etc/rc.d/netif,
so it maybe too late to load here...
Note that vmxnet.ko supports FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE or later, and
5.3-RELEASE and later (as VMware said). I've confirmed that
recent 7-current got 100% instant panic if vmxnet.ko is loaded.
- "vmware_guest_kmod_enable" is renamed to "vmware_guest_vmmemctl_enable"
Now this ports has two kernel modules now, old name is not
appropriate one, hard to understand this variable is for which
kernel module. I also put backward compatibility code, but users
of vmware_guest_kmod_enable please change variable name.
Bugfixes are:
- Resolve conflicts on ${PREFIX}/share/vmware-tools.
Unfortunately both vmware-guestd5 and vmware-tools5 installs
files to ${PREFIX}/share/vmware-tools directory. Since this
directory is only for vmware-tools, vmware-guestd5 doesn't do
anything for now.
- WWW: line in pkg-descr points bogus page.
- Add note that there's official VMware Tools installer, and what is the
difference between the two.
Finally, as usual, bump PORTVERSION.
