Thanks for the information you put here.

I wonder which release tag are you using to build open-vm-tools? I'm using the latest release Release 10.1.0 from build 4449150 and the Makefile.in seems and other temporary files are no longer in the repository.

I finally make it working but install VMware-tools and patch it.
