I found a solution on mkucebek’s github sources
#!/bin/bash VMWARE_VERSION=workstation-15.1.0 TMP_FOLDER=/tmp/patch-vmware rm -fdr $TMP_FOLDER mkdir -p $TMP_FOLDER cd $TMP_FOLDER git clone https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules.git cd $TMP_FOLDER/vmware-host-modules git checkout $VMWARE_VERSION git fetch make sudo make install sudo rm /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libz.so.1/libz.so.1 sudo ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libz.so.1 /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libz.so.1/libz.so.1 sudo /etc/init.d/vmware restart
Then, you just have to launch VMware Workstation without building modules.
