PHP: 深入pack/unpack

Of course, only after you patch the installation. :) I can't remember
when was the last time Workstation run without patching, that was
really long long time ago. Maybe it's Linus' fault, he moves too fast,
who can tell... :)

Also, you won't be able to compile and run the 2.6.37 kernel with the
legacy BKL (Big Kernel Lock) disabled, Workstation still depends on
lock_kernel() and unlock_kernel() primitives. Let's hope VMware fixes
that in their next revision.

Anyway... the patch is relatively small this time, but many files had
to be patched for the modules to compile properly, so I propose a
slightly different methodology for patching.

Go to the module source directory and untar all archives:

cd /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source

for file in *

do

tar xvf $file

done

Apply the patch:

patch -p1 < /path/to/vmware-workstation-7.1.3-kernel-2.6.37.patch

Pack all archives once again, and get rid of the unpacked directories:

for file in *-only

do

tar cvf `basename $file -only`.tar $file

done

rm -rf *-only

Now you can rebuild and load modules:

vmware-modconfig --console --install-all

After that, Workstation runs fast and trouble free as usual. Have fun!
