Prerequisites
- VMware(player)
- Open SuSE 10.1
- Kernel 2.6.16-4-default
Kernel source
Get the kernel-source, gcc, g++ and make and check if everything installed fine:
rpm -qa kernel* gcc* make
Prepare kerneltree
According to to install VMware 5.0 workstation on SUSE Linux 10.0 do the following step: Go into the kernel source directory and make a configfile.
cd /usr/src/linux make cloneconfig make prepare make prepare_all make modules_prepare (THIS IS IMPORTANT FOR 10.1 !!)
This is necessary because otherwise vmware will NOT compile and leave you with an error message about the wrong kernel!
Install VMware
Now you can compile vmware via vmware-any-any-update. Search google to find the actual download.
