Thanks for fix. On my normal system it also built fine, I only encounted this issue in chroot.

Sorry about that: I'm unable to replicate but I'm not in a clean environment, so I suspect the linux-headers dependency is not installed before the build.

Please, could you try the last PKGBUILD (etherlab-ethercat-1.6.7-6)? In 133acc3dedda I moved that dependency to the root makedepends.

When trying to build in clean chroot this fails with 

checking whether to build kernel modules... yes

configure: error: Failed to find Linux sources. Use --with-linux-dir!
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
    Aborting...

I split the dkms version on its own package (etherlab-ethercat-dkms). This simplifies a lot the PKGBUILD code.

That explains it: linux-zen-headers installs the headers under /usr/src/linux-zen, so the if branch fails.

For non-standard headers or dynamic module autoupdate, please use etherlab-ethercat-dkms instead. In short:

etherlab-ethercat = modules bound to current kernel under /usr/src/linux
etherlab-ethercat-dkms = modules dynamically built via dkms

I am using the devtools environment for compilation. I am using linux-zen-headers. I attempted to add the linux-zen-headers compilation dependency to etherlab-ethercat.

entidi commented on 2025-09-12 15:09 (UTC)

No idea what's happening there... etherlab-ethercat requires linux-headers so the if test -d /usr/src/linux branch in build() must succeed and the configure script should be called with --with-linux-dir=/usr/src/linux and that should be enough to define LINUX_SOURCE_DIR (later used by Makefile.kbuild as make -C ...).

Are you using some non-standard linux-headers package that does not create /usr/src/linux?

taotieren commented on 2025-09-12 14:34 (UTC)

Compilation error. Could you please help fix it? Thank you.

AUR packages should comply with guidelines. If there are kernel modules packaged, then they should be version agnostic.

That being said, would you accept patch for this package if I made one? Because I don't think it makes sense to create new package for this.

entidi commented on 2024-10-08 15:20 (UTC)

@micwoj92: for my usecase, dkms is just a new burden I don't want to learn. You are of course free to fork your own -dkms version.
