- Build fix when WITH_VMWARE_GTK is set.
- Reorder pkg-plist so that @unexec vmware-guestd.sh successfully done.
- Create directories for server modules, since xserver may not be installed.
Even though this makes no "installed" content change, but bump
PORTREVISION since pkg-plist/pkg-plist.tools are changed.

Bump PORTREVISION for both vmware-tools5 and vmware-guestd5.

revision number. It may help to avoid unwanted version bump to
vmware-tools5 if vmware-guestd5 specific changes are happen to
vmware-guestd5/Makefile.
Since no content changes at this time, no bump.
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.
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.
- Mark NO_PACKAGE since these ports require VMware itself.
(and avoid using .ifdef(PACKAGE_BUILDING) also)
- Forget to mark IS_INTERACTIVE if !BATCH (vmware-guest4).
(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.

either IGNORE or BROKEN.
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.

do-install target is running. So use installed vmware-guestd to detach
VMware Tools CD-ROM (same as ports/emulators/vmware-guestd/Makefile rev 1.3.)
No content change will apply with this commit.
- Extracts tarball from (pseudo) CD-ROM directly.
- RUN_DEPENDS to vmware-guestd which is newly added.
- Install XF86_VMware X server if and only if XFREE86_VERSION=3.
- Some cosmetics.
