I tried compiling the latest open-vm-tools (9.10.0-2476743) under FreeBSD, and I was unable to compile them at all due to multiple compiler errors/warnings.

Is there an ETA for the code to be fixed, and if not should it be patches in the FreeBSD port or an upstream change?

I’ve attached a log of the compilation process with failures highlighted.

      I tried compiling 9.10.2-2822639 with the clang compiler and these options:

      "./configure --prefix=$HOME/build --without-x --without-dnet --without-icu --without-xerces”

      The configure script ran without incident, but the build failed with these messages:

        Hi Douglas,

        we don't suport building with clang. You need to install gcc on FreeBSD.

        Prerequisites: install gcc48 with the command
        pkg install gcc

        Install build dependencies: glib libdnet libXinerama libXrandr gtk2 gtkmm24

        Instructions for building:

        autoreconf -i --force
        env CC=gcc48 CFLAGS=-Wl,-rpath=/usr/local/lib/gcc48 CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include/" LIBS="-L/usr/local/lib" ./configure --without-kernel-modules --without-xmlsecurity --without-icu --disable-vgauth --disable-grabbitmqproxy --disable-deploypkg
        make

        Let us know if this works for you.

        Oliver

    I was able to get open-vm-tools 9.10.2-2822639 to build with clang 3.4.1 on FreeBSD 10.2-RELEASE using the attached source patches.
    (Most of the patches were to stop clang from complaining about unused functions/declaration issues, but I also found that changing the definition of FMTSZ in lib/include/vm_basic_types.h to a lowercase 'z' got rid of that particular error, too.)

    I also had to copy over kernelStubsSal.h from modules/linux/shared into modules/freebsd/shared.

    Here is what I found that works:
    1) Apply the attached patches.
    2) Regenerate the configure scripts using 'autoreconf -i' and make the resulting ./configure script executable.
    3) Configure the build as follows: 'env LDFLAGS=-Wl,-allow-multiple-definition ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --without-xmlsecurity --without-icu --disable-vgauth --disable-grabbitmqproxy --disable-deploypkg --without-x --without-dnet'
    4) Do 'make / make install.'

    Not having an ESXi installation myself, I was only able to test basic shutdown/restart functionality with Fusion Pro 8.0. But, it seems to be functional with no core dumps/panics.

    Ravindra et al, what would it take to fix the configure scripts in the tarball itself so that it would be easier to incorporate open-vm-tools into FreeBSD's ports?

    Thanks in advance!
