I like others have run into the problems of getting vmware working on FreeBSD 4.11 and 5.4. I havent seen a posted solution anyplace so I went to work on good old regresion testing to find out when it broke so I could find what broke it. I pretty much have it down to the update of ports/emulators/linux_base, if you use the old linux_base-7.1_7 code you can get a working vmware built. In the process of doing all this I found some other things that should be cleaned up. Like the fact that vmware3 requires perl to build, it is not listed as a build dependency. The pkg-message still refers to vmware.sh insteead of 001.vmware.sh Not sure where I saw that it is broken for SMP, the truth is if you have APIC compiled your in trouble too. And can someone explain why this port now installs into /usr/X11R6???? it is not part of X11, or have things changed so that now all X apps install into the X tree?
