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

When I updated the package, I got this warning Deprecated feature: CLEAN (/var/lib/dkms/vmware-workstation/17.6.3_24583834/source/dkms.conf

I think CLEAN="make clean" should be removed from dkms.conf.in.

I tried this http://rglinuxtech.com/?p=3321 . I replaced EXTRA_CFLAGS by ccflags-y and del_timer_sync by timer_delete_sync. EXTRA_CFLAGS is in MAKEFILE and del_timer_sync is in various .c and .h of src. Now I have this log https://pastebin.com/EtQjPWJa

Sorry for my bad English. Thank you for all.

Thanks @obones, added the new dependency so it comes with the package by default. Appreciated.

I'm trying to use vmrun and it gives me the following error:

./pkg/vmware-workstation/usr/bin/vmrun: error while loading shared libraries: libxml2.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This appeared in the past month or so, and in other packages it was enough to force a rebuild to "use" the new libxml. But this does not seem to be the case here, maybe because it comes precompiled in the downloaded content.

EDIT: Answering myself here: install libxml2-legacy https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/libxml2/-/issues/4#note_267022

An easier way to fix the DNS resolve is to add the addresses to your hosts file.

echo "$(curl -v softwareupdate-prod.broadcom.com 2>&1 | grep Connected | cut -d ' ' -f5 | sed -E 's/(([^)]+))/\1/') softwareupdate-dev.broadcom.com" | sudo tee -a /etc/hosts
