Introducing VMware Tools for VMware Workstation 6 beta 3. As usual, all three ports are updated after repocoping from version 5 ports (this is why this ports is 'committed,' not 'imported.') Note to 7-current users: vmware-guestd and other binaries requires libc.so.6 to work. Since there is no misc/compat6x yet, this ports is marked as 'IGNORE' if there is no libc.so.6.

Dear VMware Workstation users around the world, here is an upgrade of
VMware Workstation FreeBSD-guest related ports for VMware Workstation
5.5.0 build 18463.
New features are:
- Spell "VMware Workstation" appropriately.
There are much VMware products, it would be the time that I have
to spell VMware Workstation as VMware Workstation.
- Support FreeBSD/amd64 since 64-bit binaries are provided from VMware.
I don't test any of 64-bit related portion, since I have no
FreeBSD/amd64 machine. If something trouble please email me.
- New variable "WITH_VMWARE_GTK" (emulators/vmware-tools5)
Install gtk version of VMware Tools if defined
(add more dependencies on other gtk-related ports)
- New variable "WITH_VMWARE_VMXNET" (emulators/vmware-guestd5)
Install "vmxnet.ko" kernel module (vmxnet driver) if defined
Usage:
- shutdown FreeBSD guest VM
- add following line to FreeBSD guest VM config file
Ethernet0.virtualDev="vmxnet"
- Boot FreeBSD guest VM
- load vmxnet.ko kernel module
- ifconfig vxn0 ...
New rc.conf variable "vmware_guest_vmxnet_enable" is also added
to vmware-guestd.sh to load kernel module at startup. However,
${PREFIX}/etc/rc.d/vmware-guestd.sh run _after_ /etc/rc.d/netif,
so it maybe too late to load here...
Note that vmxnet.ko supports FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE or later, and
5.3-RELEASE and later (as VMware said). I've confirmed that
recent 7-current got 100% instant panic if vmxnet.ko is loaded.
- "vmware_guest_kmod_enable" is renamed to "vmware_guest_vmmemctl_enable"
Now this ports has two kernel modules now, old name is not
appropriate one, hard to understand this variable is for which
kernel module. I also put backward compatibility code, but users
of vmware_guest_kmod_enable please change variable name.
Bugfixes are:
- Resolve conflicts on ${PREFIX}/share/vmware-tools.
Unfortunately both vmware-guestd5 and vmware-tools5 installs
files to ${PREFIX}/share/vmware-tools directory. Since this
directory is only for vmware-tools, vmware-guestd5 doesn't do
anything for now.
- WWW: line in pkg-descr points bogus page.
- Add note that there's official VMware Tools installer, and what is the
difference between the two.
Finally, as usual, bump PORTVERSION.

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.
