Public bug reported: open-vm-tools-2013.04.16-1098359 dkms module does not build on linux-3.11. It will be important this works on 3.11 since Saucy will be rebased on 3.11 eventually.
The following errors occur: 1) open-vm-tools-2013.04.16-1098359/modules/linux/vmhgfs/file.c: In function ‘HgfsAioRead’: open-vm-tools-2013.04.16-1098359/modules/linux/vmhgfs/file.c:754:32: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type result = HgfsRevalidate(iocb->ki_filp->f_dentry); ^ open-vm-tools-2013.04.16-1098359/modules/linux/vmhgfs/file.c: In function ‘HgfsAioWrite’: open-vm-tools-2013.04.16-1098359/modules/linux/vmhgfs/file.c:803:32: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type result = HgfsRevalidate(iocb->ki_filp->f_dentry); ^ This can be fixed with the patch in the following issue: http://sourceforge.net/p/open-vm-tools/tracker/173/ https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1194940 Which adds the following to vmhgfs/file.c +#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(3, 10, 0) +#include <linux/aio.h> +#endif 2) open-vm-tools-2013.04.16-1098359/modules/linux/vmhgfs/dir.c:82:4: error: unknown field ‘readdir’ specified in initializer .readdir = HgfsReaddir, ^ This is because readdir has been renamed to iterate as of commit bb6f619b3a49f940d7478112500da312d70866eb.
