Ubuntu – Installing VMware on 18.04: Failed to build vmmon

I am trying to install VMware with the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware/Player

I get an error that tells me to look into a log file, which contains:

Extracting the vmmon source from "/usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmmon.tar".
Successfully extracted the vmmon source.
Building module with command "/usr/bin/make -j4 -C /tmp/modconfig-GoVdrH/vmmon-only auto-build HEADER_DIR=/lib/modules/4.15.0-22-generic/build/include CC=/usr/bin/gcc IS_GCC_3=no"
Failed to build vmmon.  Failed to execute the build command.

To figure out what was wrong exactly, I ran vmware-modconfig --console --install-all on the command line, and it revealed these errors:

./arch/x86/include/asm/processor-flags.h:39:0: note: this is the location of the previous definition

How to fix it, or make implicit-function-declaration and incompatible-pointer-types be not considered as errros?
Or any easier method to install the latest VMware on 18.04?

Note: Different error from VMWare Workstation Pro 12 on Ubuntu 16.04 cannot compile vmmon
