i have workstation 17.5.0
System - arch linux 6.7.2-zen1-1-zen

mkubecek commented

The error message complains about a makefile which does not come from this repository (it's part of your kernel devel headers) so it rather looks like an issue with your build environment or kernel devel package. Other out of tree modules build correctly?

I'm also on Arch, I installed the Zen kernel, 6.7.2.zen1-2, and it built fine with the current workstation-17.5.0 branch. I'm using vmware-host-modules-dkms-git from AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vmware-host-modules-dkms-git

Manual build works too:

Description: Patches needed to build VMware Player host modules against recent kernels

romabess commented

I just did step by step this guide

First method (build and install):

wget https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules/archive/workstation-17.0.0.tar.gz
tar -xzf workstation-17.0.0.tar.gz
cd vmware-host-modules-workstation-17.0.0
make
make install

And in the top is the error after make command. A month ago all was fine, but now i have a problem, with network.
❯ systemctl start vmware-networks
Job for vmware-networks.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status vmware-networks.service" and "journalctl -xeu vmware-networks.service" for details.

So i got an idea, that your project can fix that.

wget https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules/archive/workstation-17.0.0.tar.gz
tar -xzf workstation-17.0.0.tar.gz
cd vmware-host-modules-workstation-17.0.0
make
make install

17.0.0 branch is retired: see 6f09496
You should use 17.5.0 now.

This is for player, not work station
Description: Patches needed to build VMware Player host modules against recent kernels

The description is a bit misleading, according to the

vmware-host-modules/README

Lines 16 to 20 in 8dd494f

versions before 17.0, there are also branches "player-${version}" but as
the module sources have been identical between Workstation and Player for
quite long, there seems to be no need to duplicate the work. Therefore the
"workstation-*" branches should be also used for Player >= 17.0 (and can be
in fact used for older as well). If the situation changes in the future,

the modules work for both Player and Workstation, and I actually have Workstation Pro installed. I probably should update the description.

Yes, yes, I just copied it now, and so yes, I replaced it in the version info with 17.5.0 myself(i also have VMware Workstation 17 Pro).

The description may be misleading, but the thing is that when I install this via pamac, it just uninstalls workstation when I install the package you've thrown up.

That's because AUR vmware-workstation installs dkms host modules too, hence the conflict. I installed vmware from an official binary distribution manually. If you're using vmware-workstation and having an issue, you should probably take it there, for starters, look for the error log with journalctl -xeu vmware-networks.service. Installing the host modules manually with having dkms modules already isn't a good option (though it doesn't describe the build error you're having). Either install vmware manually, or take it to the AUR package comments or Arch forums, I think you're more likely to get help there.

can we get in touch somewhere on Telegram or any other messenger?

*nvm fixed it, it was using an old folder of 17.5.0, edited my script with line2:

cd ~/Downloads
rm -rf workstation* vmware-host-modules-workstation*
wget https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules/archive/workstation-17.5.1.tar.gz
tar -xzf workstation*
cd vmware-host-modules*
make tarballs
tar -cf vmmon.tar vmmon-only
tar -cf vmnet.tar vmnet-only
sudo cp vmmon.tar /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmmon.tar
sudo cp vmnet.tar /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmnet.tar
vmware-modconfig --console --install-all
