As @NIICKTCHUNS mentioned, if "vmware-keymaps" is not installed first, there is an error when compiling (I install using yay on fresh new arch system that don't have "vmware-keymaps" installed). Should we add "vmware-keymaps" as a dependency of this package?

If anyone here is having a error about compiling, first install the package "vmware-keymaps" from the AUR, this is a dependency that shows on the error log if you fail to install, although this already should be installed on your system.

Thanks. This builds just fine now.

Anyone is having checksum errors on sources?
afzalarsalan commented on 2025-03-07 22:37 (UTC)
40d91c3c11ce doesn't build properly if you don't have _enable_macOS_guests=y enable due to a mismatch in sources and checksums.

Anyone else not able to start vmware-networks?
ERROR: Missing 6.13.1-arch1-1 kernel modules tree for module vmware-workstation
It dies after "Started Bridge networking on vmnet0" when checking the systemctl status.

Been getting these types of messages for a while now, can't find any file that references these old kernels/VMware versions:
Error! vmware-workstation/17.6.1_24319023: Missing the module source directory or the symbolic link pointing to it.
Manual intervention is required!
Everything works, never had a kernel module fail to build.

Please switch the p7zip
macOS guests makedep to 7zip
, like upstream ArchLinux did. It's a straightforward replacement, it works for me in a clean chroot.

After the first installation, please:
1) install the appropriate headers package(s) for your installed kernel(s): linux-headers for default kernel, linux-lts-headers for LTS kernel...
2) reboot or load vmw_vmci and vmmon kernel modules (modprobe -a vmw_vmci vmmon)
3) Enable the services you need (using .service units to activate them during boot or .path units to activate them when a VM is started) :
vmware-networks: to have network access inside VMs
vmware-usbarbitrator: to connect USB devices inside VMs
