This package installs VMWare tools v4.0 on Endian Firewall 2.4 with kernel 2.6.27.19-72.e25PAE

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ZEV8WKVQ
It has precompiled drivers for PAE kernel (I don't have normal sources, only PAE), you don't need any extra package (neither gcc nor any devel package)  .

Steps to install:

1-Upgrade your Endian firewall. On console run the following command: efw-upgrade
Select 1) Production (or 2, it doesn't matter)
About the username you must register on Endian.com

2-Once upgraded, change kernel to kernel-PAE: smart install kernel-PAE Say Y to the question
3-Reboot your system with reboot
4-Check that the kernel is now 2.6.27.19-72.e25PAE, by using the command: uname -r
5-Copy the file EFW_2.4_VMWareTools-4.0.0-PAE.tgz to your firewall, the easiest way is with WinSCP
6-Unzip the file, either with WinSCP File->Custom Commands->Untar or using the command  tar -xvf EFW_2.4_VMWareTools-4.0.0-PAE.tgz
7-Go to the directory called vmware-tools-distrib: cd vmware-tools-distrib
8-Run the installer: ./vmware-install.pl Press Enter to any question. It should install the tools correctly.
9-Run the startup fix: ./fix-startup.sh
10-Run the NIC driver update: ./fix-nic.sh
11-Reboot with reboot
12-Check that VMWare tools are installed and running, via your VMWare client or using the command /etc/init.d/vmware-tools status
13-Enjoy
