After upgrading the kernel the other day I attempted to recompile the VMWare kernel module although it ended up failing. After reviewing the logs I noticed that it was complaining about not finding 'version.h' - although the kernel-header package was installed:
2017-06-07T10:18:44.574+01:00| vthread-4| I125: Setting header path for 4.11.3-200.fc25.x86_64 to "/lib/modules/4.11.3-200.fc25.x86_64/build/include".
2017-06-07T10:18:44.574+01:00| vthread-4| I125: Validating path "/lib/modules/4.11.3-200.fc25.x86_64/build/include" for kernel release "4.11.3-200.fc25.x86_64".
2017-06-07T10:18:44.574+01:00| vthread-4| I125: Failed to find /lib/modules/4.11.3-200.fc25.x86_64/build/include/linux/version.h
Turns out that this file is actually kept in: /usr/include/linux/
So in order to get the VMWare module to compile I ended up copying it to the current kernel's header directory:
sudo cp /usr/include/linux/version.h /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include/linux/
