问题描述

由于Fedora 40使用的Linux内核是6.9,导致安装VMware Workstation Pro 时，安装依赖无法成功，具体报错如下

在我探索了好久，才发现解决这个问题需要两步。（Github讨论的，开源就是坑）

---

解决方案：

1. 下载依赖源码

其中的17.0.0是你VMware的版本号，如果你也不清楚，建议去github看看，地址是https://github.com/mkubecek

  wget https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules/archive/workstation-17.0.0.tar.gz
  tar -xzf workstation-17.0.0.tar.gz

现在如果你编译安装，肯定是会报错的，如果报错跟我一样，那么跟着下一步走。
编译安装是

  cd vmware-host-modules-workstation-17.0.0
  make
  sudo make install

2. 修改源代码

修改/vmnet-only/vmnetInt.h

# 找到

     compat_skb_set_network_header(skb, sizeof (struct ethhdr)),  \
     dev_queue_xmit(skb)                                   \
   )
-#define dev_lock_list()    read_lock(&dev_base_lock)
-#define dev_unlock_list()  read_unlock(&dev_base_lock)
+#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(6, 9, 0)
+#   define dev_lock_list()    rcu_read_lock()
+#   define dev_unlock_list()  rcu_read_unlock()
+#else
+#   define dev_lock_list()    read_lock(&dev_base_lock)
+#   define dev_unlock_list()  read_unlock(&dev_base_lock)
+#endif
 
 
 extern struct proto vmnet_proto;

- 意思是删除
+ 意思是增加

3. 编译安装依赖

此时再次编译安装

  cd vmware-host-modules-workstation-17.0.0
  make
  sudo make install

就可以成功打开软件了。

成功进入软件。

自动VMware被收购了，个人用户免费以后就不那么容易安装了，真是坑。
如果你安装失败了，可以看看大佬们的讨论贴
