License: not specified in port

VMware tools support FreeBSD _guest_ OS running on VMware Workstation.
Beware, this port is _not_ for FreeBSD _host_ OS.

VMware tools for FreeBSD consist of vmware-toolbox which supports
seamless operation between the Host and the Guest OS and dual-boot
configulation files.  However, we cannot install dual-boot configuration
since it requires to modify /etc files.

This ports will install vmware-toolbox to your computer.  You may use 'vmware'
driver for X server.  Vmware-guestd is installed as a separate port,
ports/emulators/vmware-guestd6, but this port install guestd automatically.

This port assumes that a) users want only "must-have" binaries and
b) guest OS runs on a certain architecture and never be changed.  For
those want full-feature of VMware Tools, use the installer bundled with
VMware Tools instead.

14 Feb 2013 09:33:48 6.0.3.80004_2	bapt	Deprecate ports related to no more support vmware versions
22 Sep 2007 02:18:45 6.0.1.55017	matusita	Update to version 6.0.1 build 55017.
08 Jun 2007 17:40:56 6.0.0.45731_2	matusita	More fix on X modules. The X server modules (display driver and mouse driver) bundled with VMware Tools doesn't work with X.Org 7.2 server. So install these modules if and only if X is actually XFree86 4.x. Also fix pkg-plist (sorry the last commit makes plist broken.) Bump vmware-tools6 PORTREVISION to note the changes above. For X.Org 7.2 users: x11-drivers/xf86-video-vmware is the video driver for VMs, that is installed by default. x11-drivers/xf86-input-vmmouse is the mouse driver for VMs. However, it doesn't need if vmware-toolbox runs.
01 Jun 2007 01:59:12 6.0.0.45731_1	matusita	Change X server modules installation directory to a new place for X.Org 7.2. Bump PORTREVISION for vmware-tools6 only.
02 Mar 2007 14:53:53 6.0.0.39849	matusita	Introducing VMware Tools for VMware Workstation 6 beta 3. As usual, all three ports are updated after repocoping from version 5 ports (this is why this ports is 'committed,' not 'imported.') Note to 7-current users: vmware-guestd and other binaries requires libc.so.6 to work. Since there is no misc/compat6x yet, this ports is marked as 'IGNORE' if there is no libc.so.6.
