Oh, I can finally get rid of 4.7 then! Awesome, thank you. It's good to
see open-vm-tools adopted again.

hi,
please use open-vm-tools 2:9.4.0-1280544-5 - not -1.
Building with 3.11 should work fine with -1, but 3.12 (and gcc 4.8) needs -5.
Mihai: -5 builds just fine with gcc 4.8 :)
Cheers,
Bernd

Hi Bernd.
I have tried this new version of open-vm-tools-dkms against the 3.12 kernel that
is now in Debian testing and it failed to compile for me.
The contents of the /var/lib/dkms/open-vm-tools/9.4.0/build/make.log file
