====== VMware tools ======
Cette page décrit l'installation et la compilation des VMware tools sous Debian Testing (avec Squeeze/Sid).
===== Prérequis =====
L'installation de Debian testing peut être réalisée directement (sans passer par une stable) avec une image disponible ici : http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/.
Il faut ensuite installer les paquets suivants :
* linux-headers-xxx qui correspond au noyau utilisé. Pour obtenir cette information, utiliser "uname -a".\\
* make
* gcc
:!: Attention, dans l'installation netinstall alpha de debian squeeze, le noyau exécuté par défaut est 2.6.32-trunk alors qu'il n'est plus dans le repository debian, il faut basculer sur la version 2.6.32-5 (également installée). La version CD minimal n'est pas impactée par ce problème.
===== Installation et configuration =====
Suivre la procédure :
* Lancer l'installation de VMware tools dans VMware
* Monter le cdrom
root@debian:~# mount /cdrom/
mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
root@debian:~# ls -l /cdrom/
total 102973
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 1996 21 mai 06:38 manifest.txt
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 105441986 21 mai 06:38 VMwareTools-8.4.2-261024.tar.gz
root@debian:~#
* décompresser l'archive
tar -zxvf /cdrom/VMwareTools-8.4.2-261024.tar.gz
* exécuter le script d'installation :
root@debian:~/vmware-tools-distrib# ./vmware-install.pl

Installing VMware Tools.
In which directory do you want to install the binary files?
[/usr/bin]
What is the directory that contains the init directories (rc0.d/ to rc6.d/)?
[/etc]
What is the directory that contains the init scripts?
[/etc/init.d]
In which directory do you want to install the daemon files?
[/usr/sbin]
In which directory do you want to install the library files?
[/usr/lib/vmware-tools]
In which directory do you want to install the documentation files?
[/usr/share/doc/vmware-tools]
The path "/usr/share/doc/vmware-tools" does not exist currently. This program
is going to create it, including needed parent directories. Is this what you
want? [yes]
The installation of VMware Tools 8.4.2 build-261024 for Linux completed
successfully. You can decide to remove this software from your system at any
time by invoking the following command: "/usr/bin/vmware-uninstall-tools.pl".
Before running VMware Tools for the first time, you need to configure it by
invoking the following command: "/usr/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl". Do you want
this program to invoke the command for you now? [yes]

Before you can compile modules, you need to have the following installed...
make
gcc
kernel headers of the running kernel
Searching for GCC...
Detected GCC binary at "/usr/bin/gcc-4.3".
The path "/usr/bin/gcc-4.3" appears to be a valid path to the gcc binary.
Would you like to change it? [no]
Searching for a valid kernel header path...
Detected the kernel headers of the running kernel at
"/lib/modules/2.6.32-5-amd64/build/include".
The path "/lib/modules/2.6.32-5-amd64/build/include" appears to be a valid path
to the kernel headers of the running kernel.

The configuration of VMware Tools 8.4.2 build-261024 for Linux for this running
kernel completed successfully.
You must restart your X session before any mouse or graphics changes take
effect.
You can now run VMware Tools by invoking "/usr/bin/vmware-toolbox-cmd" from the
command line or by invoking "/usr/bin/vmware-toolbox" from the command line
during an X server session.
To enable advanced X features (e.g., guest resolution fit, drag and drop, and
file and text copy/paste), you will need to do one (or more) of the following:
1. Manually start /usr/bin/vmware-user
2. Log out and log back into your desktop session; and,
3. Restart your X session.
Enjoy,
