Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: kernel modules Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Jarkko Laiho (jarkkolaiho) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Compilation fails at first stage Initial Comment: I'm running a freshly installed 64-bit Gentoo 2008.0 in a VMware Fusion virtual machine on a new MacBook Pro. I reported this issue in the Gentoo forums, but got a suggestion to report it here. ( http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?p=5417453 ) The compilation of open-vm-tools fails immediately after the configure process is finished. The error message is below. The compiler is GCC 4.1.2, the latest one marked stable in Portage. The open-vm-tools version is 20081223, the latest available there. The kernel version is 2.6.27 (gentoo-sources -r8). I could try the 20090121 version, if it would be likely to fix this issue, although I'm hesitant to go outside Gentoo's package management. Is there another fix, maybe? ----- [...configure steps skipped, no errors there...] Preparing vmblock module make -j3 HOSTCC=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc CROSS_COMPILE=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu- LDFLAGS= auto-build HEADER_DIR=/usr/src/linux/include BUILD_DIR=/lib/modules/2.6.27-gentoo-r8/build Using 2.6.x kernel build system. make -C /lib/modules/2.6.27-gentoo-r8/build SUBDIRS=$PWD SRCROOT=$PWD/. modules make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.27-gentoo-r8' make[1]: warning: jobserver unavailable: using -j1.
