CentOS 7 Installation Vmware-tools

"Original" title: "CentOS 7 Installation Vmware-tools"; Shawcher, qq:35360657.

A new CentOS 7 virtual machine is installed with VMware Workstation 11 and the Vmware-tools (version number 9) is installed next.

First encounter a hint, said is already installed Open-vm-tools, to first manually uninstall. Internet a check, as if this open-vm-tools not too support hgfs, so hand unloading. (later check again, like Open-vm-tools support Hgfs, there is a solution, configuration can be, and then try again.) ）

Then start the formal installation of Vmware-tools.

Everything goes well until compile hgfs times wrong:

/tmp/modconfig-36lupi/vmhgfs-only/page.c:1649:23:error:too many arguments to function ' wait_on_bit '

task_uninterruptible);

On the internet to find https://communities.vmware.com/message/2637447, according to the hints inside, and went to https://communities.vmware.com/message/2637118# 2637118. Find a solution:

1, in the vmware-tools-distrib/directory after decompression, into the lib/modules/source/, decompression Vmhgfs.tar, get vmhgfs-only directory.

2, modify the file vmhgfs-only/page.c: the 1639th line of

#if linux_version_code >= kernel_version (3, 19, 0)

Change into

#if linux_version_code >= kernel_version (3, 10, 0)

Description: Because the kernel version of CentOS 7 is 3.10.0.

3. Re-package the Vmhgfs-only directory as a Mvhgfs.tar.

4. Re-execute the installation script vmware-install.pl.

So the installation was successful. Hgfs functions properly.

The current problem: unity can be used, but not as useful as it used to be. Because the virtual machine desktop is displayed, occupy the host's desktop, the host's taskbar is hidden behind.
