:: bcwc-pcie-dkms package(s) failed to install. Check .SRCINFO for mismatching data with PKGBUILD.

Anyone that's having issues getting this to compile on 4.8 branches, use this PKGBUILD and patch until the pull request I generated the diff from is merged (tested and confirmed on linux-macbook kernel 4.8.1): PKGBUILD: https://gist.github.com/tonylambiris/cc215849f8c1467d88b7d1ddda78546a fix-build-4.8.1.patch: https://gist.github.com/tonylambiris/2e4485e09eac8585485d597406531877

For those who need this in 4.8 (if it will not be merged for awhile): https://github.com/patjak/bcwc_pcie/pull/102

This package is great, but it lacks support for custom kernel builds. Please consider this patch: (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Compile_kernel_module#Module_installation there is an easy way to get the extra modules path) --- a/PKGBUILD 2016-05-31 20:15:34.687067886 +0200 +++ b/PKGBUILD 2016-05-31 20:16:17.142824626 +0200 @@ -33,9 +33,9 @@ package() { cd "$srcdir/$pkgname" - KERNEL_VERSION=$(uname -r | cut -d '.' -f 1,2) + EXTRA_MODULES=$(readlink -f /usr/lib/modules/`uname -r`/extramodules) install -Dm 644 facetimehd.ko.gz \ - "$pkgdir/usr/lib/modules/extramodules-${KERNEL_VERSION}-ARCH/facetimehd.ko.gz" + "$pkgdir/${EXTRA_MODULES}/facetimehd.ko.gz" install -Dm 644 "$srcdir/bcwc-pcie.modprobe.conf" \ "$pkgdir/etc/modprobe.d/bcwc-pcie.conf" install -Dm 644 "$srcdir/bcwc-pcie.modules-load.conf" \

bcwc-pcie-git package also gives following error: Direct firmware load for facetimehd/1871_01XX.dat failed with error -2 but unlike bcwc-pcie-dkms, it works fine.

here is what i found in dmesg : [ 2113.241563] facetimehd 0000:02:00.0: firmware: facetimehd/1871_01XX.dat will not be loaded

A.J commented on 2016-03-23 03:29 (UTC)

pacman build it fine , but the driver isn't working with cheese or any application .

whynothugo commented on 2016-03-22 14:09 (UTC)

Looks like something changed regarding dkms packages since 4.5, but it *did* build okay for me. What issue did you get?
