i posted you the link, you only need to read and follow

https://www.google.at/search?q=vmware+workstation+kernel+3.11
http://slackblogs.blogspot.co.at/2013/09/linux-kernel-311-vmware-workstation-and.html

there is a blue text "vmware-3.11 SlackHacks Repository" which is also a link
https://github.com/willysr/SlackHacks/tree/master/vmware/vmware-3.11

and there is a instruction:
1. cd /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source
2. tar xvf vmblock.tar
3. cd vmblock-only
4. patch -p1 < /path/to/vmblock-3.11.patch
5. cd ..
6. tar cvf vmblock.tar vmblock-only/
7. vmware-modconfig --console --install-all

what more do you need?
