Thanks.  I was contacted privately by someone else on the list and advised of 
the same thing.  I chose to remove the lines mentioning MNT_NODEV from the 
hgfsmounter.c file.  I wasn't aware you could simply define it as 0.  Which is 
preferable?

I'm compiling and making without problems now that the NODEV problem is cleared 
up, but I didn't define any LDFLAGS.  Should I?
