# VMWare doesn't support the latest kernels on Fedora, so if you like to run kernel updates when they come out, | |
# VMWare workstation would stop working. I haven't gone deep into the why this is, but I found the fix through | |
# a random forum comment[1]. In short, you have to download patches to vmmon from a github repo[2], build it and | |
# then install the patches. This script does it for VMWare Workstation 15.5. | |

# To build for another version of vmware, just change the path below. | |
wget https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules/archive/workstation-15.5.0.tar.gz | |
cd vmware-host-modules-workstation-15.5.0 | |
make clean | |

sudo make install | |
sudo /etc/init.d/vmware restart | |
