Hi @kauron, thanks for the suggestion; done!

Hi there! Just a small suggestion for this package: the license could be set to GPL-2, according to the copyright headers in the source files. Thanks for maintaining this package!

Disown as I no longer have this hardware

graphicmist commented on 2020-04-17 19:25 (UTC)

as mentioned by @hali this worked for me. Thanks a lot.

Note this doesn't compile on 6.0 kernel due to this bug: https://github.com/patjak/bcwc_pcie/issues/205

As mentioned there (until fixed upstream) you can change the 3 ioremap_nocache() calls to ioremap() in /usr/src/bcwc-pcie-r242.ea832ac/fthd_drv.c and run sudo dkms install bcwc-pcie/r242.ea832ac and it is OK.

I'm trying to build on 5.6.4-arch1-1. I changed the ioremap_nocache calls but I still get a number of errors, ie.

/home/joe/.cache/yay/bcwc-pcie-git/src/bcwc-pcie-git/fthd_drv.c: In function ‘buf_t2h_handler’:
/home/joe/.cache/yay/bcwc-pcie-git/src/bcwc-pcie-git/fthd_drv.c:164:30: error: passing argument 1 of ‘fthd_buffer_return_handler’ from incompatible pointer type [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types]
  164 |   fthd_buffer_return_handler(dev_priv, address & ~3, request_size);
      |                              ^~~~~~~~
      |                              |
      |                              struct fthd_private *

I see that repeated for several uses of the struct fthd_private * parameter. I get this error whether I run sudo dkms install ... or just make in my aur helper's cache directory (with the ioremap changes applied to the source).

Thanks, @hali!

Thanks for the prompt response. :)

@eschwartz thanks for pointing out the --devel flag. The last time I check it didn't work for some reason. Now it works quite well.

I'm updating all my AUR packages.

Edit: Done ;)

@Aetf

Speaking with my official TU hat on, you are required to stop using pkgver=0.0.0, effective immediately, on all AUR packages you maintain.

Users who wish to update AUR VCS-based packages with an AUR helper are expected to use the commonly implemented --devel flag to check VCS packages for updates. Adding an infinitely high pkgver= and relying on the pkgver() function to reset it is NOT acceptable, as this constantly spams users to update even when there is no update available. Furthermore, the pkgrel= is reset to 1 upon the pkgver() function successfully modifying the pkgver=, so it doesn't do anything.
