Compilation of vmware modules
Create build-environment
Install debootstrap and schroot:
apt-get install debootstrap schroot
You need one environment per arch. With i386 and amd64 you cover almost everything:
debootstrap --arch=i386 karmic /opt/ubuntu/karmic-i386 http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu debootstrap --arch=amd64 karmic /opt/ubuntu/karmic-amd64 http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
Edit /etc/schroot/schroot.conf
and add to the bottom:
[karmic-amd64] description=Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala amd64 users=dick root-users=dick location=/opt/tmp/ubuntus/karmic type=directory run-setup-scripts=true run-exec-scripts=true [karmic-i386] description=Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala i386 users=dick root-users=dick location=/opt/tmp/ubuntus/karmic-i386 type=directory run-setup-scripts=true run-exec-scripts=true
Configure build environment
Go into each of them and first modify /etc/apt/sources.list
to have the proper lines:
# deb http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic main restricted universe multiverse deb-src http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic main restricted universe multiverse deb http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic-updates main restricted universe multiverse deb-src http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic-updates main restricted universe multiverse deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu karmic-security main restricted universe multiverse deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu karmic-security main restricted universe multiverse
Install the package that will pull down all requires debs (>100 MB):
apt-get install open-vm-tools linux-source apt-show-versions vim module-assistant
