VMWare 4.x/5.x status

[Georg-W. Koltermann]

Hi list, hi Orlando,

I tried to compile a VMWare 4.5 vmmon on FreeBSD 6.0 using the patch
provided at
http://www.break.net/orlando/sw/vmmon-4.5.2-8848-freebsd-2.diff but I
got numerous compile time errors.  I could sort out a few, e.g. add
-Wno-cast-qual, drop the major device number stuff, but I am finally
stuck at:

        ./freebsd/mli_file.c: In function `mli_conjure_vnode':
        ./freebsd/mli_file.c:715: error: structure has no member named `si_hlist'
        ./freebsd/mli_file.c: In function `mli_vnode_cleanup':
        ./freebsd/mli_file.c:748: error: `spec_vnodeop_p' undeclared (first use in this function)
        ./freebsd/mli_file.c:748: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
        ./freebsd/mli_file.c:748: error: for each function it appears in.)
        ./freebsd/mli_file.c: At top level:
        ./freebsd/mli_file.c:470: warning: 'mli_object_getproc' defined but not used
        *** Error code 1

The si_hlist struct member seems to have evaporated.

Could anybody help me?  Does anybody have more current patches, or maybe
even patches for VMWare 5.5?

I urgently need some kind of a solution; my employer is rolling out
WinXP, and I just don't get that to run on VMWare2 which I have been
using happily for years.

Regards,
Georg.
