Welcome to FreeBSD Software


FreeBSD emulators : vmware-guestd4

 vmware-guestd daemon is for time synchronization with host OS and others.
Beware, this port is for FreeBSD _guest_ OS.  You don't need to install
this ports to FreeBSD _host_ OS.  This ports also installs a kernel modules
for FreeBSD guest.

If you want to run FreeBSD as a VMware guest OS, install this port
would help you.  If you want to run X, install vmware-tools too.

v. 1.29
date: 2007/10/07 02:56:17;  author: edwin;  state: Exp;  lines: +2 -2
Replace all INSTALL_DATA/INSTALL_SCRIPT and INSTALL_PROGRAM/STRIP=
hacks to install kernel loadable modules correctly on amd64 platforms
with the new INSTALL_KLD command.

All PORTREVISIONS have been bumped to show when the new version of
installing became available.

Apparently checkvm utility have not been tested on FreeBSD (apart from the fact that it compiles). Bump PORTREVISION.

While converting to the script for RCng era, I just forget to do that. I don't know that "command_args" variable is ok in this case , but /etc/rc.d/ipxrouted and /etc/rc.d/ntpdate already did it so it seems there's no problem.

v. 1.15 date: 2004/03/16 15:37:28; author: matusita; state: Exp; lines: +22 -9 Update to 4.5.1 build 7568, with lots of cleanup. - USE_RC_SUBR. Inspired by ports/net/dtcpclient (thanks ume-san). Since now, loading kernel modules and/or start vmware-guestd can be tweaked via following rc.conf variables: * vmware_guestd_enable (default to YES) * vmware_guest_kmod_enable (default to NO) vmware-guest_kmod.sh is removed; both are handled by a single shell script, vmware-guestd.sh. - Bulid kernel module iff kernel source files are available. This check is just a static checking of /usr/src/sys/Makefile. It would be even better that '/usr/src' can be changed to other place, but I believe that most user puts a source code under /usr/src, or other places and set a symlink to there. If it hits you badly, I'm willing to apply your patch to fix(?) it. - If this ports is used by ports/emulators/vmware-tools4, install XFree86 server modules, vmware_drv.o and vmmouse_drv.o. The vmware_drv.o is a (virtual) graphic chip driver. I believe that if you have already installed XFree86 4.3.0, it should be the same one but compiled on XFree86 4.3.99.2. I've confirmed that it should work with XFree86 4.3.0 server. The vmmouse_drv.o is a mouse driver, use it instead of default mouse driver, mouse_drv.o. It works, but if my test is correct, it doesn't support Emulate3Buttons. Use with care. Both drivers are installed to appropriate directory, but renamed (append '_VMware' to the filename) to avoid any conflicts to other ports (especially ports/x11/XFree86*). P.S.: Happy version 4.5.1, ACPI is enabled by default for FreeBSD guest OS.

This commit makes vmware-tools4 a slave port of vmware-guestd4, since both are made from the same tarball, and it would be easy to maintain. Vmware-guestd4 also installs a kernel module named vmmemctl; you may want to kldload(8) it with a shell script under rc.d/ directory. VMware Workstation 4.0.1 does fix "jumping the pointer" bug (yeah, thanks VMware developer team). This means that you do not have to install linux-vmware-toolbox4. However, it can be used as it should be, I do not disable and/or remove this port.

It seems that VMware does not provide a new version of guest tools for VMware 4.x to FreeBSD guest, but it would be better to add these ports, since users will know FreeBSD runs on VMware 4.x. I've also add vmware-toolbox port for VMware 4.x, which is for Linux guest. In VMware 3.x, we FreeBSD guest user are happy to use FreeBSD version of vmware-toolbox so we don't need the Linux version. However, at least my VMs, FreeBSD version's vmware-toolbox causes X pointer a bumpy one (pointer moves every seconds); it is unusable. Linux version seems OK for me, so if you have seen such behavior, please try linux-vmware-toolbox4 instead. Old ports cleanup will come later. Reviewed by: kuriyama (mentor)

And create three symlinks to true(1) there (poweroff-vm-default, poweron-vm-default, suspend-vm-default), which makes it possible to shutdown or reboot guest FreeBSD system cleanly at the request of the host. vmware-guestd expects those binaries/scripts to be present. o Use `shutdown -p now' instead of `shutdown -h now', which in the case of vmware allows to avoid spinning host CPU after shutdown. o Patch vmware-checkvm, so that it traps proper signal (SIGBUS not SIGSEGV). Apparently checkvm utility have not been tested on FreeBSD (apart from the fact that it compiles). Bump PORTREVISION.

While converting to the script for RCng era, I just forget to do that. I don't know that "command_args" variable is ok in this case , but /etc/rc.d/ipxrouted and /etc/rc.d/ntpdate already did it so it seems there's no problem.

v. 1.15 date: 2004/03/16 15:37:28; author: matusita; state: Exp; lines: +22 -9 Update to 4.5.1 build 7568, with lots of cleanup. - USE_RC_SUBR. Inspired by ports/net/dtcpclient (thanks ume-san). Since now, loading kernel modules and/or start vmware-guestd can be tweaked via following rc.conf variables: * vmware_guestd_enable (default to YES) * vmware_guest_kmod_enable (default to NO) vmware-guest_kmod.sh is removed; both are handled by a single shell script, vmware-guestd.sh. - Bulid kernel module iff kernel source files are available. This check is just a static checking of /usr/src/sys/Makefile. It would be even better that '/usr/src' can be changed to other place, but I believe that most user puts a source code under /usr/src, or other places and set a symlink to there. If it hits you badly, I'm willing to apply your patch to fix(?) it. - If this ports is used by ports/emulators/vmware-tools4, install XFree86 server modules, vmware_drv.o and vmmouse_drv.o. The vmware_drv.o is a (virtual) graphic chip driver. I believe that if you have already installed XFree86 4.3.0, it should be the same one but compiled on XFree86 4.3.99.2. I've confirmed that it should work with XFree86 4.3.0 server. The vmmouse_drv.o is a mouse driver, use it instead of default mouse driver, mouse_drv.o. It works, but if my test is correct, it doesn't support Emulate3Buttons. Use with care. Both drivers are installed to appropriate directory, but renamed (append '_VMware' to the filename) to avoid any conflicts to other ports (especially ports/x11/XFree86*). P.S.: Happy version 4.5.1, ACPI is enabled by default for FreeBSD guest OS.

v. 1.12 date: 2003/07/24 15:34:44; author: matusita; state: Exp; lines: +83 -19 Update VMware Tools for 4.0.1 build-5289, the latest version of VMware Workstation. This commit makes vmware-tools4 a slave port of vmware-guestd4, since both are made from the same tarball, and it would be easy to maintain. Vmware-guestd4 also installs a kernel module named vmmemctl; you may want to kldload(8) it with a shell script under rc.d/ directory. VMware Workstation 4.0.1 does fix "jumping the pointer" bug (yeah, thanks VMware developer team). This means that you do not have to install linux-vmware-toolbox4. However, it can be used as it should be, I do not disable and/or remove this port.

v. 1.8 date: 2003/04/19 07:09:04; author: matusita; state: Exp; lines: +6 -3 Update VMware-related tools to the of VMware Workstation 4.0.0 build-4460 (after repocopying old ones, thank you joe). It seems that VMware does not provide a new version of guest tools for VMware 4.x to FreeBSD guest, but it would be better to add these ports, since users will know FreeBSD runs on VMware 4.x. I've also add vmware-toolbox port for VMware 4.x, which is for Linux guest. In VMware 3.x, we FreeBSD guest user are happy to use FreeBSD version of vmware-toolbox so we don't need the Linux version. However, at least my VMs, FreeBSD version's vmware-toolbox causes X pointer a bumpy one (pointer moves every seconds); it is unusable. Linux version seems OK for me, so if you have seen such behavior, please try linux-vmware-toolbox4 instead. Old ports cleanup will come later. Reviewed by: kuriyama (mentor)

Since there seems to be some confusion, for the record: BROKEN is reserved for ports that don't work. This will prevent users from installing the port, but please note that ports marked as BROKEN will still be built by bento IGNORE is reserved for ports that should not be built for one reason or another (including bento). Users and bento will not build ports marked as IGNORE. FORBIDDEN is reserved for security breakages only!!! Only mark a port as FORBIDDEN if there is a security issue with the port at the time.
