Debian comes with VmWare tools. Dont bother installing/compiling the version that comes with VmWare.
First you need to activate the “contrib” packages in Debian.
$ sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list
Add “contrib” to each line beginning with “deb”.
Now installing VmWare tools is as simple as
$ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install open-vm-tools
Done! No restart needed.
