VMware Add-ons Download

Description:

 

VMW Add-ons are a set of tools to enhance interaction between Haiku, running in a virtual machine, and the host operating system. It is like the official VMware tools on Windows or Linux.

It currently provides:

- Clipboard sharing between Haiku and the host OS

- Mouse sharing: the mouse can seamlessly enter and quit the VM window.

- Disk compacting: Starts the VMware "shrink" process, which reduce the size of "auto-expanding" virtual disks attached to the virtual machine. The free space on disks is cleaned up previously, in order to get better results.

Hi Vincent,

There was some work done with Haiku's Vmware Input add-on (mouse). Do you know if this is enabled by default with Haiku, and if it conflicts with this package?

thx

Hi Karl,
Yes, the add-on included in Haiku conflicts with this one. If they are both enabled, the mouse cursor will stall :-/
Fortunately, it is not included in the image by default.

Hello! I'm thrilled to see this available and, in general, it's working great for me. However, when I left-click, the mouse seems to jump down and right a pixel or two.

It seems to be preventing me from double-clicking anything.

Here's what I'm running:

Haiku Nightly GCC2 Hybrid Revision 38087
VMWare Fusion 3.1.1
Mac OS X 10.6.4

If I can provide any more info, please just let me know!
