Re: Issue with vmhgs

Sorry for the previous post, hit bad key...



Hi.

 I have installed OpenSuse 11.4 in my VmPlayer (running on XP)

The open vm tools included in the release is bogus (vmhgfs can't load for
example)/

 So I downloaded the 2011.02.23 and I installed the tools.

 It seems to work fine but I now encounter some weird issues with the shared
folders.
 e.g :
ex1
-----
I use cat or more to read a file on my shared folder -> Ok.
I use codeblocks -> I have an empty file.

ex2:
-----
When I try to compile & link a cpp file on the shared folder, I have an
error (command was gcc Free.cpp)
/usr/lib/gcc/i586-suse-linux/4.5/../../../../i586-suse-linux/bin/ld : final
link failed: Illegal seek

If I compile the same source file under my /root, it compiles & links fine.


Looks like an issue in the vmhgfs component ?

Thanks

Chris

ps1: I tried to compile the 8.4.2-261024 version but I have many errors :[
ps2: to build the 2011.02.23 I used "./configure --without-gtkmm
--without-procps --without-icu --without-dnet --disable-unity"
