I see in the commits that MMap was replaced to fix some issues so I compiled latest locally and now have this issue:

Seems like the same result: libvmwarebase.so must be located elsewhere.

@DrDonk commented on GitHub (Jan 22, 2022):

ESXi is not supported. Also Go executables do not run on ESXi VMkernel due to a difference in syscalls. VMware did some work on modifying Go compiler but not released. I am investigating this but for now the code will not work on ESXi.

ESXi also needs different files patching and a specific way to package the files as the root FS is read only.
