Hi,
I've had a bit of success building open-vm-tools on kfreebsd/amd64. I have no idea if all is fine, but a package has been built, vmtoolsd is running, and vcenter shows the vm's hostname. I have a 4000+ lines patch, 160kB. Most of it came from running autoconf. I had to skip services/plugins/timeSync and services/plugins/vix. Also mount.hgfs did not build (neither did the kernel module) so that's not the .deb. The other changes consist mainly of changing 'if defined __FreeBSD__' to 'if defined __FreeBSD__ || defined __FreeBSD_kernel__', or chaning 'if defined linux' to 'if defined linux || defined __GLIBC__' depending on kernel or userspace. I'm quite sure a number of my changes are not done the proper way, but at least I got somewhere. If anyone is interested I can send my patch somewhere for somebody as a starter. I'm afraid I'm not familiar enough with the inner workings of vmware's tools and freebsd/glibc to make open-vm-tools a complete working package on kfreebsd.
