>Organization:
Japan FreeBSD Users' Group
>Environment:
FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT / 4.1-STABLE
>Description:
Here is a new ports for VMware tools. VMware tools is a set of
tools for guest OS running on VMware, a PC emulation environment.
emulation/vmware-freebsd-tools will install X Server your
FreeBSD guest OS (CAUTION: it's not for *host* OS). Other
tools are also included, however, it's unusable and should go
away at this moment.
emulation/vmware-linux-tools will install vmware-toolbox for
Linux (it works with Linux emulation). In fact, there is the
same tool for FreeBSD, however, it lacks time-synchronization
feature so should not be used.
If you have installed both ports, your FreeBSD guest OS will
be happy.
>How-To-Repeat:
Extract sharfile attached below, and use it.
>Fix:
# This is a shell archive. Save it in a file, remove anything before
# this line, and then unpack it by entering "sh file". Note, it may
# create directories; files and directories will be owned by you and
# have default permissions.

XVMware tools is a tool for supporing Guest OS running on VMware. Original
XVMware tools contains X Server (special X server for Guest OS),
Xvmware-toolbox (supports seemless operation, etc), and dual-boot configulation
Xfiles. However, vmware-toolbox is too old (lacks a feature of time sync)
Xand dual-boot configulation is broken (checkvm program is too old). So,
Xthis port installs X server ONLY.
X
XIf you want to install vmware-toolbox, ports/emulations/vmware-linux-tools
Xwill guide you.

XVMware-toolbox bundled with VMware tools for FreeBSD is too old,
Xlacks feature of time synchronization between the virtual machine and
Xthe host operating system. As a result, if you want to set exact time
Xon FreeBSD guest OS, you should run ntpdate(8) every second (but no helps).
X
XThis port installs Linux version of vmware-toolbox instead of FreeBSD version.
XIf you run FreeBSD as a guest OS, you'll be happy with this.
X
XBe aware that you should have the floppy image of VMware tools for Linux
Xto install this port, which is bundled with VMware. You can find image from:
X
X Windows NT/2000: C:\Program Files\VMware\Programs\linux.flp
X Linux: /usr/lib/vmware/lib/floppies/linux.flp
X FreeBSD (via ports): ${PREFIX}/lib/vmware/lib/floppies/linux.flp
