Can you try some of these branches? https://github.com/nan0desu/vmware-host-modules/wiki
Sadly neither git clone -b tmp/workstation-17.5.2-k6.9-sharishth https://github.com/nan0desu/vmware-host-modules.git nor git clone -b tmp/workstation-17.5.2-k6.9.1 https://github.com/nan0desu/vmware-host-modules.git compiles: same error as above. On my Leap 15.6 the gcc7 is installed, maybe that's a problem or some kernel stuff is missing and I need to install it?
I stumbled upon this: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1494239/gnu-c-compiler-gcc-version-12-2-0-was-not-found-vmware/1521670#1521670
There's a line that needs to be added to bridge.c: After the #include <linux/netdevice.h>, add
#include <net/gso.h>
That fixed Workstation 17 Pro, and it finished the install and is now working.
Thx a lot, the #225, which is including the gso.h and my first attempt together fixed it finally!
