[ANNOUNCE] New wiki page for open-vm-tools

[andyj]

I've finished a page for how to build your own open-vm-tools extension for anybody using VMWare workstation or player. Follow the link in the vmware-installation page. Any feedback on the wiki article is welcome. I'll upload a prebuilt extension once I finish the rest of the files, and I find out where to upload them to. I'm posting this here because it crosses several forum areas and we all know cross posting is unpopular, but also because there is one TC general thing which comes out of it. The user space tools look for a file called /etc/release, presumably to guess something about the system it's running on. It would be nice if this file came with core.gz so we could know what version we are running. Just something simple like "TinyCore 4.7.7" in it.

We call it /usr/share/doc/tc/release.txt

I wouldn't have thought to look for it there.

Thanks,

Andy

As promised, here is the build script. It assumes that the open-vm-tools source tarball has already been downloaded into the current directory.
