Vmware tools for fc10 fail to compile some modules

Question

I'm running esxi 3.5 u3 - when I try to install vmware tools on fedora core 10 (linux kernel 2.6.27.5).
vmmemctl breaks:
os.c: 590  erro struct proc_dir_entry has no member named get_info
vmghfs breaks:
bdhandler.c:29:27:  erro: asm/semaphore.h : no such file or directory
I have checked in the kernel include files, and effectively these errors are correct. When I lookad at earlier 2.6 kernels, for example 2.6.18, proc_dir_entry did have a memeber named get_info, but no longer.
Is there anything I can do? (although this is not that critical) .
Otherwise, vmware-tools compile ok.

Answer 1

Priot to the current version of VMWare Tools I used to try and compile them and ran into issues.
Now I find that they are much better supported (on Ubuntu at least) and so in the VM I click on Install VMware Tools from the menu, mount the "CD" in a virtual CD Rom and install them the normal way ...
I would hope that something like this would work for FC - this is what I do in Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-server build-essential
sudo mount /dev/scd0/media/cdrom0
or
mount /cdrom
VM > Install VMWare Tools
cp /cdrom/VmwareTools-x.x.x-xxxxx.tar.gz ~
cd ~
tar -zxf VmwareTools-x.x.x-xxxxx.tar.gz
cd vmware-tools-distrib
./vmware-install.p
I am not a FC user so I don't know how much this will help ...
