I am trying to build open-vm-tools, and running into a problem with where
it's looking for header files. I am building it on a different system than
it will run on (the virtual machine doesn't have dev tools, so I'm building
it on a different machine. I am using --with-linuxdir to point it to the
correct kernel source. I'm also setting --with-kernel-release, --build, and
--host.
But, when I try to make it, I get an error:
---
make[1]: Entering directory
`/home/tjh/Build/Linux2/Test/open-vm-tools-8.4.2-261024/modules'

fatal error: generated/autoconf.h: No such file or directory

It doesn't appear to be looking for the header files in the Linuxdir that I
configured it with. Is there another setting needed to point it to the
correct kernel source tree?
