The package from Nate fixes most compilation errors, except for the
following:
/var/lib/dkms/open-vm-tools/2012.12.26/build/vmhgfs/inode.c: In function ‘HgfsTruncatePages’:
/var/lib/dkms/open-vm-tools/2012.12.26/build/vmhgfs/inode.c:888:4: error: implicit declaration of function ‘vmtruncate’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
cc1: some warnings being treated as errors
Apparently, the vmtruncate method got removed in the following kernel commit: 7898575fc81bd707ce0844cb06874d48e39bbe09
I've got the tools compiling by copying the contents of the vmtruncate
method before it was removed. See the attached patch. Please note that I
have remove the call to the truncate method of the inode, as it does not
exist anymore. I don't know if this is correct.
