解决 ubuntu 1104 vm_share不能使用的问题

If you’re trying to install vmware-tools inside a linux guest and get the dreaded
super.c:73: error: unknown field ‘clear_inode’ specified in initializer 
error while compiling vmhgfs for shared folder support (which I use a lot),

this will help (thanks to Anjo from German VMWare Forums):

• unpack /usr/lib/vmware-tools/modules/source/vmhgfs.tar to somewhere
• open vmhgfs-only/super.c in your favorite text editor
• edit from
  1#ifndef VMW_USE_IGET_LOCKED

  2 .read_inode       = HgfsReadInode,

  3 #endif

  4 .clear_inode      = HgfsClearInode,

  5 .put_super        = HgfsPutSuper,

  6 .statfs              = HgfsStatfs,

  7 };

  to (note .clear_inode -> .evict_inode)

   

  1#ifndef VMW_USE_IGET_LOCKED

  2   .read_inode    = HgfsReadInode,

  3#endif

  4   .evict_inode   = HgfsClearInode,

  5   .put_super     = HgfsPutSuper,

  6   .statfs           = HgfsStatfs,

  7};
• repack vmhgfs.tar including edited super.c
• execute vmware-config-tools.pl
• profit
