RE: open-vm-tools-9.10.0 (i586 and gcc4.3): mul64.h: No such file or directory

[Ravindra K. <rav...@vm...>]

Thanks for the report Mike. We found that it is a bug in open-vm-tools package. We have an internal bug to track it.

The issue is 32-bit build can be done only with GCC version 4.4 or a later version with major version being 4. This is due to a poor compiler version check in vm_basic_asm_x86.h and missing header file mul64.h.

I think simplest workaround for you at this point is to use a GCC version >= 4.4 and < 5.0.

Thanks,
Ravindra
