Do you have a particular reason for using this port? Assuming you mean 8.X, the Tools that ship on this iso with Vmware will work (assuming your copy of vmware isn't too old) if you install misc/compat6x or you can try emulators/open-vm-tools (open sourced copy of Vmware Tools that you build). If you meant 9-CURRENT, things may be more difficult since Vmware only ships binaries for releases and open-vm-tools is marked broken on current. -- Rob Farmer > > current# pwd > /usr/ports/emulators > current# mv vmware-guestd6 vmware-guestd6.old > current# tar xzf ~guru/vmware-guestd6.tar.gz > current# cd vmware-guestd6 > current# make > ===> Vulnerability check disabled, database not found > > ======================================================================== > Choose "VM" -> "Install VMware Tools..." from VMware Workstation > menu to connect VM's CD-ROM drive and installation CD image temporary. > Press "Install" button when a dialog pops up. > ======================================================================== > > This port mounts /dev/acd0 to /mnt. > > Are you ready?
