It's the only package out of the 240 in xorg that has this arrangement. The configuration is also totally out-date. <blockquote type="CITE"> I'll have a check with some inhouse people to see whether we want to change that so that it builds by default. </blockquote> It would be good to know what is the expected use of this program. An end user program that system builders should include in their OS? A developer only tool for unit testing?

People thinks it's ok to build it, but not install it by default. A good solution would perhaps be to have a configure option --enable-vmwarectrl-client that triggers a build of this component. Please let me know whether you want to do that. Otherwise I can take care of it during the upcoming week. Thanks Thomas </body> </html>
