After a recent update of the kernel to 2.6.24 I fail in building the
kernel modules for vmware workstation. I'm using 'make-vmpkg'. It
fails with the following:
In file included from
/home/root_extra/vmware/vmware-workstation/build/vmware-workstation/usr_src/modules/vmware-kernel/vmblock-only/linux/os.h:21,
from
/home/root_extra/vmware/vmware-workstation/build/vmware-workstation/usr_src/modules/vmware-kernel/vmblock-only/linux/block.c:12:
/home/root_extra/vmware/vmware-workstation/build/vmware-workstation/usr_src/modules/vmware-kernel/vmblock-only/./include/compat_wait.h:60:
error: conflicting types for ‘poll_initwait’
include/linux/poll.h:65: error: previous declaration of ‘poll_initwait’
was here
I suspect it's caused by an earlier warning:

warning: "VMW_HAVE_EPOLL" is not defined
Any ideas on how to solve this? (I suspect one way might be to somehow
make sure that VMW_HAVE_EPOLL is defined during the compilation, but how
do I succeed in doing that?)

What if I don't want to obey the laws? Do they throw me in jail with
the other bad monads?
