you would need to check for example if linux is installed then you need to have linux-headers as dependency, otherwise if linux-lts is installed you need to have linux-lts-headers as dependency.

I have read the PKGBUILD doc https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PKGBUILD#optdepends An array of packages that are not needed for the software to function, but provide additional features.

without the linux-lts-headers package the program doesn't compile at all so I would say that optdepends would not be correct right?

another aspect to deal with lies in the question that this only applies to linux and linux-lts as they are the only ones to have the corresponding linux-headers linux-lts-headers

endorfina commented on 2023-05-16 13:18 (UTC)

I looked at other packages that use dkms and they put linux-headers in makedepends. These are, among others: bbswitch-dkms, nvidia-open-dkms, vhba-module-dkms and also evdi-git. Maybe that's the approach. Personally, I warmed-up to bluegreensea's idea with optdepends.

I have changed the PKGBUILD

Now It works with linux-lts

It is not working with linux-lts

ERROR: Missing 6.3.1-arch2-1 kernel modules tree for module evdi/1.13.1.

bluegreensea commented on 2023-05-10 07:42 (UTC)

It won't, because linux-headers is only provides by vanilla-like kernels.

endorfina commented on 2023-05-04 08:54 (UTC)

Wouldn't this be handled by linux-*-headers's provides? The evdi module does require Linux headers to compile. The wiki says using optdepends is mainly for additional features.

bluegreensea commented on 2023-04-29 18:34 (UTC)

Maybe linux-headers needs to be marked as optional to support other headers? Like linux-hardened-headers, linux-lts-headers, linux-zen-headers.

endorfina commented on 2023-04-28 09:28 (UTC)

ah, yes. base-devel is only assumed with makedepends. 🤔 I'll add it when I get home, possibly along with linux-headers

mvidaldp commented on 2023-04-28 00:37 (UTC)

It won't install without base-devel package. Can someone add it as a dependency? :)

endorfina commented on 2023-04-26 11:55 (UTC)

I can do it. :) I'll up update it later today
