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.
