environment variables properly to run VMware, instead of installing it
as a symbolic link to ${PREFIX}/lib/vmware/bin/vmware.
Suggested by: Frank Mayhar <frank@exit.com>
Add $FreeBSD$ on the top of the Hints.FreeBSD file.
Add a link to the official VMware Product FAQ page.
- Remove post-install information from DESCR's.
- Replace /usr/local with ${PREFIX} in DESCR's and MESSAGE's.
- Remove unnecessary whitespace.
Pointed out by: portlint
- Mention full screen graphics mode works though it'll need due care not
to enter full screen text mode.
- Wording: vmware -> VMware
- Wording: tmpfs -> MFS
Some apps such as VMware for Linux would be happy with it.
The code was originally written by Vladimir N. Silyaev.
Note: It _includes_ Linux ioctl support, but basically it's
FreeBSD native stuff. I'm importing this into emulators
category for convevience' sake. Check it out.
- Correspond to VMware 2.0 Build 476 release (not beta)
- Support SMP kernel
- Install VMware tools floppies (for Windows and Linux)
- Add Hints.FreeBSD
- Mention my unofficial `rtc' port on post-install
- Raw disk may not work for the present
- etc.
Enjoy it!
- Make portlint satisfy
- Avoid creating files out of WRKDIR
- Remove the void directory "patch" (What ever was this?)
- Adjust whitespace
- Fix some ungrammatical wordings
- Modify COMMENT and DESCR
- Drop fakeprocfs support due to the import of Linux procfs to the base system
- Show MESSAGE after installation
- Change maintainer to the -emulation list because:
- Vladimir seems too busy or unreachable these days
- This port depends very much on Linux compatibility stuff
- Get it to check if the system has Linux procfs module and stop if not
PR: ports/16960 (add WWW to DESCR)
No response by: maintainer
- remove [buggy] dependencies from linuxprocfs port, when this
port doesn't exist in a system (it's a common situation, because
linuxprocfs port isn't included in the official port tree).
- remove Makefiles.inc.xxx at cleanup stage
- added message about loading kernel modules
- added warning when vmware runned with not super-user id

rather large patchset improving pcemu. I therefore also decided to
bump the version number from 1.01a to 1.01b, David Hedley apparently
abandoned all work on pcemu anyway.
The exact details of Arne's patches can be studied in the PR, it's
something like 50 lines of explanation i don't want to quote in full
here. In short, he submitted a number of improvements and a fix for
the hard disk emulation in pcemu's BIOS. After a review, i decided to
leave the patches verbatim.
In addition and while i was at it, i added something i always ment to
do: the option to dynamically add floppy disks (and now also hard
disks) from within the .pcemurc file, so there's no need to recompile
if you just wanna get access to your floppy from within pcemu.
Comment it out again once you're done.

linuxulator uses /compat/linux and /compat may be a link (it is
on fresh installs) and may not point to /usr/compat at all. Also,
linux_devtools still uses /compat/linux.
If the prefix is changed to something other than /compat/linux,
make sure it's changed in all relevant places!
