let me start by saying i haven't built vmware in awhile -- not since the v2 port came to be under 4.x. i've upgraded my workstation to 5.1 (finally) and again have a need for vmware. so i found the vmware3 port. none of the distro sites worked... at least not for the PORTVERSION 3.2.1-2237. i found 3.2.1-2242 on vmware.com. so i downloaded that, made a quick edit to Makefile, and the install seemed to work. vmware3-3.2.1-2242_1 A virtual machine emulator - a full PC in a window my question... has the Makefile simply not been updated because the MAINTAINER is busy (understandable, i'm not bitching ;), or do the required patches/etc. not cleanly appliy to newer 3.0 builds? i'm working on the config now. the one issue i see is that the wizard doesn't work. it core dumps. Sep 29 15:21:42 mojo kernel: pid 981 (bash), uid 1001: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) that appears each time i attempt file -> wizard. no biggie, i've created a config manually (file -> new), which seems to work... but am now trying to workaround license issues (i believe the wizard walks you through creating a license file, and creating it manually like i did under 2.0 isn't working as easily as i remembered). so i guess my question is... should i continue trying to get the newer 3.2.1-2242 working, or are there known issues/reasons i should try to track down the older 3.2.1-2237? if the latter, does anyone know of a working distro site for 3.2.1-2237? thanks, -mrh -- From: "Spam Catcher" <spam-catcher@adept.org> To: spam-catcher@adept.org Do NOT send email to the address listed above or you will be added to a blacklist!
