本文解决在较新Linux内核上安装VMware Tools时遇到的编译错误问题，特别是针对共享文件夹支持组件vmhgfs的未知字段错误。通过修改源码中的super.c文件，将.clear_inode替换为.evict_inode来解决此问题。

If you’re trying to install vmware-tools inside a linux guest and get the dreaded
super.c:73: error: unknown field ‘clear_inode’ specified in initializer
error while compiling vmhgfs for shared folder support (which I use a lot),

this will help (thanks to Anjo from German VMWare Forums):

unpack /usr/lib/vmware-tools/modules/source/vmhgfs.tar to somewhere
open vmhgfs-only/super.c in your favorite text editor
edit from

1 #ifndef VMW_USE_IGET_LOCKED

2 .read_inode       = HgfsReadInode,

3 #endif

4 .clear_inode      = HgfsClearInode,

5 .put_super        = HgfsPutSuper,

6 .statfs              = HgfsStatfs,

7 };

to (note .clear_inode -> .evict_inode)

1 #ifndef VMW_USE_IGET_LOCKED

2    .read_inode    = HgfsReadInode,

3 #endif

4    .evict_inode   = HgfsClearInode,

5    .put_super     = HgfsPutSuper,

6    .statfs           = HgfsStatfs,

7 };
repack vmhgfs.tar including edited super.c
execute vmware-config-tools.pl
