我在找具体说明为此，注意到如何安装 .tar.gz（或 .tar.bz2）文件？可以给一般的指导。
换句话说，如何处理VMware-converter-6.2.0-7348398.odp.tgz(*)？
这个问题的答案可能很明显，但由于快速搜索没有给出任何有用的结果，而且vmware.com 上的指南仅适用于基于 Windows 的安装，我想值得在这里询问。

1. Install Windows XP Professional 64-bit. VMware uses Microsoft 32 bit compilers on a 64 bit system to build the 32 bit Toolchain. 2. Install Visual studio 2008 Professional Edition. * Install everything under Visual C++ Language Tools including X64 Compilers & Tools * Apply the SP1 patch from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=FBEE1648-7106-44A7-9649-6D9F6D58056E&displaylang=en to your visual studio installation. 3. Copy the following to c:\toolchain\win32\bin Copy fromdos.exe and todos.exe - http://tofrodos.sourceforge.net/download/tfd1712a.zip Copy usr/local/wbin/* from UnxUtils - http://sourceforge.net/projects/unxutils/files/unxutils/current/UnxUtils.zip/download Install Cygwin and then copy "sh.exe", and "cp.exe", and "tar.exe" (and various cygwin dlls required to run them) from the Cygwin installation. At the time of publishing, the commands to do this are: $ cd \Toolchain\win32\bin $ copy \cygwin\bin\sh.exe sh.exe $ copy \cygwin\bin\cp.exe cp.exe $ copy \cygwin\bin\tar.exe tar.exe $ copy \cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll cygwin1.dll $ copy \cygwin\bin\cygintl-8.dll cygintl-8.dll $ copy \cygwin\bin\cygiconv-2.dll cygiconv-2.dll $ copy \cygwin\bin\cygreadline7.dll cygreadline7.dll $ copy \cygwin\bin\cygncursesw-10.dll cygncursesw-10.dll $ copy \cygwin\bin\cyggcc_s-1.dll cyggcc_s-1.dll $ copy \cygwin\bin\cygattr-1.dll cygattr-1.dll 4. Copy over the Windows toolchain binaries for win32 and win64 from the shared file system to the below folders: C:\toolchain\win32 C:\toolchain\win64 5. Please use Visual Studio 2008 x64 Cross Tools Command Prompt to build 64-bit binaries and use Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt to build 32-bit binaries. 6. Add C:\toolchain\win32\bin to PATH $ set PATH=C:\toolchain\win32\bin;%PATH% NOTE: A similiarly configured system is used when building the VMware Toolchain disclosure.
