Have a look at https://github.com/st-ty1/Arch-Linux_firmware-mod-kit. Builds without problems (with gcc10). Perhaps python-magic package is needed for runtime, so it has to be installed too, but building process of sources works even without python-magic. BR st-ty1

This will build, but it’s a nightmare!

Firstly, change the reference to python2-magic in the pkgbuild to just python-magic.

Then run the sed commands in bt1ninja’s comment to include <sys/sysmacros.h> to (most of) the relevant files.

The squashfs packages will only build with gcc9 or lower so export CC=/bin/gcc-9 and export CXX=/bin/g++-9

Remember to run makepkg -sie to avoid overwriting all your good work every time you try to build!

A number of the squashfs packages have gcc and g++ hard coded into the makefiles so every time the build fails go and find “CC = gcc” or “CXX = g++” and remove those lines.

Alternatively you may need to add another #include <sys/sysmacros.h>. You’ll get the hang of it eventually.

I couldn’t get the Realtek version of squashfs to build at all but everything else eventually built. No idea if the resultant program(s) actually work yet though!

Please update build from package! It fails to build!

python2-magic can be downloaded here https://archive.org/download/archlinux_pkg_python2-magic

Adding this to prepare got things building:

grep -rPl '(major|minor|makedev)\(' | xargs grep -l 'sys/types.h' | xargs -i sed -i '/#include <sys\/types.h>/ a #include <sys/sysmacros.h>' {}

Since the major, minor, and makedev macros were moved to sys/sysmacros.h, compilation fails with "undefined reference to 'minor'".

This can be fixed by adding the following line in PKGBUILD, before the make:

grep -r "sys/types\.h" | grep -o "^[^:]\+" | xargs sed -e "s/sys\/types\.h\>/sys\/types\.h>\n\#include \<sys\/sysmacros\.h/" -i

I got a 404 error while downloading the source file fmk_099.tar.gz. Problem can be solved by changing source parameter: source=('https://storage.googleapis.com/google-code-archive-downloads/v2/code.google.com/firmware-mod-kit/fmk_099.tar.gz')

Strangely, building this with -march=native in makepkg.conf caused kernel panic on my laptop, -march=x86-64 is compiling fine. CPU is i7-5700HQ. native resolved to "broadwell" as march.
