A collection of shell scripts and patches that automate downloading, patching, and building VMware Tools on Linux guests. It applies kernel-compatibility patches so VMware Tools compiles across many kernel versions.
Use cases
- automatically patch and build vmware tools on a linux vm
- fix vmware tools compile errors on new linux kernels
- install vmware tools in vmware fusion or workstation guests
- apply custom patches to vmware tools source before compiling
- script vmware tools installation for vm provisioning
When to choose
- you need the official VMware Tools rather than open-vm-tools on a Linux guest
- vmware tools fails to compile against your kernel version
- you want a scripted, repeatable vmware tools install with custom patches
When to avoid
- you can use the distro-packaged open-vm-tools package instead
- you run VMware on Windows or macOS guests rather than Linux
- you need a maintained tool - the project has not been updated since 2019
