[open-vm-tools-devel] Build options

[Todd I. <tod...@gm...>]

Is there any documentation on the configure options for vmware tools?

The configure file is quite large,  ~850 KB, with what looks like a
lot of default / unneeded config checks.   The huge size makes it
difficult to pick out the relevant options.

The kind of things I'm looking for, and I'm sure others will need are:

- Which components can be enabled/disabled via configure?
    - Specifically, how do I disable any X11 packages, and only do
modules and command-line tools?
- How can I specify a different kernel source path, to build modules
for another VM which doesn't have build tools, rather than building
for the running system?


My first time running configure, it stopped on some Xinerama
dependencies, and recommended the --disable-multimon option.   Next
time through, it stopped on another X11 package..

I just want to build the command-line utilities, and kernel modules to
be installed in a light-weight VM that doesn't have X-Windows, or gcc.
