Avoid this package if you can, updates may fail to build in new kernel versions. Review the ArchWiki again to see if you really need this package.

If need this package, it should preferably be used with an Long-Term Support (LTS) kernel, like linux-lts. Newer Arch Linux kernel versions are more likely to not work, as the upstream maintainer does not use those.

For newer kernel that fail to build, there is often a PR that fixes the issue. For such cases, you could make local changes to the PKGBUILD to point to the PR. This is not friendly to AUR helpers, so it is simpler for most people to avoid this package as I explained above.

This has been adjusted to build on 5.10-5.15 thank you to legend Christian Hoff!

Working DKMS fork by Christian Hoff: https://github.com/choff/anbox-modules

DKMS add modules, without reboot:

sudo modprobe binder_linux devices=binder,hwbinder,vndbinder,anbox-binder,anbox-hwbinder,anbox-vndbinder

sudo modprobe ashmem_linux

The simplest way is to boot into https://archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/linux-lts/

Requires https://github.com/choff/anbox-modules/pull/4 when you've updated and your kernel is now at 5.19

Installing linux-headers removed the error messages.

LuciRose431 about ashmem being removed, waydroid doesn't need it anymore it can use the new memfd instead. Anbox apparently needs to update their android image before using memfd.

eNV25 commented on 2022-06-27 20:10 (UTC)

I don't like using patch on a moving target.

@eNV25 Include this patch for kernel 5.18 https://github.com/choff/anbox-modules/pull/2.patch instead of using sed command.

prepare() {
        patch -p1 -d $srcdir/$_pkgname < 2.patch
        ...
}

LuciRose431 commented on 2022-06-27 10:21 (UTC)

@eNV25 ashmem is removed from linux kernel 5.18
