在18.04上安装VMware：无法构建vmmon
我正在尝试使用https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware/Player上的说明安装VMware
我收到一个错误，告诉我查看一个日志文件，其中包含：
Extracting the vmmon source from "/usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmmon.tar". Successfully extracted the vmmon source. Building module with command "/usr/bin/make -j4 -C /tmp/modconfig-GoVdrH/vmmon-only auto-build HEADER_DIR=/lib/modules/4.15.0-22-generic/build/include CC=/usr/bin/gcc IS_GCC_3=no" Failed to build vmmon. Failed to execute the build command. 为了弄清楚到底出了什么问题，我在命令行上运行了vmware-modconfig --console --install-all ，它显示了以下错误：

如何解决它，或使隐式函数声明和不兼容指针类型不被视为错误？
或者更简单的方法在18.04上安装最新的VMware？
注意： Ubuntu 16.04上VMWare Workstation Pro 12的不同错误无法编译vmmon
安装最新版本14.1.2 。 该错误已得到修复。 看到这里 。 这是下载链接。
我找到了一个解决方案，并根据mkucebek的github源创建了一个脚本文件。
您必须使用此内容创建一个文件，并在每次需要时运行它（通常在安装新内核时）：
#!/bin/bash VMWARE_VERSION=workstation-12.5.9 TMP_FOLDER=/tmp/patch-vmware rm -fdr $TMP_FOLDER mkdir -p $TMP_FOLDER cd $TMP_FOLDER git clone https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules.git cd $TMP_FOLDER/vmware-host-modules git checkout $VMWARE_VERSION git fetch make sudo make install sudo rm /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libz.so.1/libz.so.1 sudo ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libz.so.1 /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libz.so.1/libz.so.1 sudo /etc/init.d/vmware restart
然后，您只需在不构建模块的情况下启动VMware Workstation。
