VMware Tools for FreeBSD Guests

VMware Tools for FreeBSD Guests

1.Power on the virtual machine.
2.Prepare your virtual machine to install VMware Tools.
Choose File >; Install VMware Tools.

The remaining steps take place inside the virtual machine, not on the host computer.

Be sure the guest operating system is running in text mode. You cannot install VMware Tools while X is running.
As root (su -), mount the VMware Tools virtual CD-ROM image, change to a working directory (for example, /tmp), uncompress the installer, then unmount the CD-ROM image.
Note: You do not use an actual CD-ROM to install VMware Tools, nor do you need to download the CD-ROM image or burn a physical CD-ROM of this image file. The VMware Workstation software contains an ISO image that looks like a CD-ROM to your guest operating system. This image contains all the files needed to install VMware Tools in your guest operating system.

mount /cdrom
cd /tmp
tar zxf /cdrom/vmware-freebsd-tools.tar.gz
umount /cdrom

Run the VMware Tools installer.
cd vmware-tools-distrib
./vmware-install.pl                                 //这里还有一些问题//

Log out of the root account.
exit

Start X and your graphical environment
In an X terminal, launch the VMware Tools background application.
vmware-toolbox &

Note: You may run VMware Tools as root or as a normal user. To shrink virtual disks, you must run VMware Tools as root (su -).

Note: In a FreeBSD 4.5 guest operating system, sometimes VMware Tools does not start after you install VMware Tools, reboot the guest operating system or start VMware Tools on the command line in the guest. An error message appears:

Shared object 'libc.so.3' not found.

The required library was not installed. This does not happen with full installations of FreeBSD 4.5, but does occur for minimal installations. To fix the problem of the missing library, take the following steps:

Insert and mount the FreeBSD 4.5 installation CD or access the ISO image file.
Change directories and run the installation script.
cd /cdrom/compat3x
./install.sh


有人按照这个步骤做成功了吗？

说实话，没！反正出问题了。
其实如果只要为的是同步时钟，自己运行guestd就行了。

我也没装成功，已经按照提示做完每一步了，但不知为何，还是提示:You do not have vmware tools installed.

有谁来解答一下啊。
哎，红袖在的话就好了。h

其实VMware里启x是非常非常简单的.
首先你要安装了x.配没配好无所谓.装了才是前提.

FreeBSD4.x用VMware Tools启x.需要装上FreeBSD3.x的库.

把FreeBSD安装盘放进光驱

mount /cdrom

/cdrom/compat3x/install.sh

umount /cdrom

然后就需要Install VMware Tools了

3.2的VMware是在Settings下

4.0的VMware是在File下

再之前版本的VMware如2.x.VMware Tools里不包含for FreeBSD的.需要自个去VMware主页下载for FreeBSD的VMware Tools.不过现在可能也没有人用2.x的VMware了吧.一样写就带一笔吧.

装好VMware Tools

mount /cdrom

cp /cdrom/vmware-freebsd-tools.tar.gz /tmp

umount /cdrom

cd /tmp

tar zxf vmware-freebsd-tools.tar.gz

cd vmware-freebsd-tools

./install.pl

选择一下你所要的分辨率.其他的一路回车就可

startx

应该就能看到你想看到的东东了.

我已经手工配置了xf86config了，也能够进入X-Windows.

VMware tools也已经按照它的步骤安装了。但VMware的状态栏中还是提示：You do not have VMware tools installed.

这是否是我没事先安装compat3x的兼容库啊？

另外，我要配置VMware的shared folders，它说一定要先安装VMware tools，是不是因为没有安装完VMware tools才导致不能成功设置shared folders?

那行字，你每次开的时候都要去点一下，我的是vm3就是这样，其他版本不知道了。
