Note: the lastest version vmware has vmtools for Leapord, this is only for Tiger, thanks Donk.

Just fix a memory bug (forgot to release pasteboardref after used, see the code)

It's based on vmw(check the original source code here). It supports mouse ungrab, clipboard sync and system time sync.

Download see the attachment

Installaion step by step:

0. unzip it

1. copy vmw to /usr/bin

2. copy vmwd.app to /Applications

3. "System Preferences"-->"Accounts"-->"Login Items"-->"+"-->"vmwd"

4. cat "nohup vmw t -u -R60 -q &" to /etc/rc.local (if it doesn't exist, create it)

5. restart the guess OSX

 

I tested the build on Tiger 10.4.3 on MS Windows host (VM v6.0)

Note: this source code can only be compiled on Darwin.

It will show the help by running the command without any arguments.

The system time sync function must be run in root mode.

I added some clipboard sync code to the cursor mode, i.e. the clipboard sync will be actived whenever mouse ungrabing mode is enabled. The clipboard sync frequency is 3 times slower as the mouse ungrabing frq by default.

Examples:

vmw t -u -R60 -q &

; to sync guest time to host time each 60sec

vmw cu -R100 -q &

; mouse ungrabing frq is 1/100milisec and clipboard sync frq is 1/300milisec

I will paste the code here later.

You do know that you can get tools for VMware in Fusion 2 beta 2?
