And fix seems to be here:
https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools/commit/f1dab8ded45aaaa4b6993a4d96d0aefc700f1796
replace $DEVPATH with $env{DEVPATH}

Thanks for the report and the pointer.

This SRPM has mixed maintainers, so assigning the bug globally; CC'ing Stig & DavidG who have dealt with it recently.

Comment 3 Stig-Ørjan Smelror 2020-06-03 20:38:15 CEST

There is a bug that prevents the recent version from compiling cleanly. Waiting for an upstream fix.

See https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools/issues/428

Cheers,
Stig

Stig: Upstream seems to have a patch now. Patch seems to do change than it should leading to possible problems applying it.

Comment 5 Stig-Ørjan Smelror 2020-07-09 14:33:12 CEST

Version 11.1.0 has been pushed to Cauldron.

Has this fixed the issue?

Cheers,
