Trying to install vmware, no stdarg.h

[quaint steeple]

I was trying to install vmware worksation on arch, when i start it, it asks to install kernel modules, i selected yes
and then it says that it cant compile and run those extensions. I looked a the log file and it says that compiler cant find file stdarg.h and stddef.h

[cunning sable]

how are you installing it?

[quaint steeple]

using a bundle file from vmware website

(its vmware 16)

@quaint steeple do you have base-devel

[quaint steeple]

i installed it but now it gives an undefined symbol error

[kindred lion]

@quaint steeple is there a file named libvmwareui.so

can you check with sudo find / -name libvmwareui.so

[quaint steeple]

yes it is

more than one

[kindred lion]

weird

is this when you launch it

[quaint steeple]

after installing i tried launching it, this message pop up i clicked install but then

this happend

and now its giving that stddef.h and stdarg.h is missing again

[kindred lion]

wtf

is there an arch linux or aur package for it

[quaint steeple]

don't know, that's why i joined this server

to get help

[kindred lion]

ok

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/VMware

so you should use the aur package

and you're definitely on x86_64

@quaint steeple do you know how to install an aur package

[quaint steeple]

yea, but i want vmware workstation 16 not 17

beacose i want run macos and connect iphone to it

[kindred lion]

huh you can do that?

[quaint steeple]

how?

[kindred lion]

no im just surprised you can use a vmware vm to do thsi

anyway

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vmware-workstation16

theres version 16

[quaint steeple]

so there is a better way? (i already know about oneclick-simple-kvm but i cant get it to work with virt-manager)

[kindred lion]

idfk i've been trying to do it with macos-simple-kvm

hasnt worked for me so far

[quaint steeple]

[quaint steeple]

i installed vmware from aur and its working, thx for help
