Arch Linux User Repository

@winnie_ua

It seems it's a problem that was fixed in the git repository back in November but hasn't made it into a release yet: https://github.com/linuxwacom/input-wacom/issues/478

I may try to add a patch to fix the compilation issue (and update to 1.5.0) when I have time.

The build log shows:

linux kernel - yes 4.18

but it's kernel 6.18

This msut be the issue.

and update to 1.5.0 didn't help, sadly :-(

Fails to build on kernel 6.18.12-1-MANJARO

@mod20: thanks for finding the solution! I updated the package with a patch for the fix from the git repository, while we wait for a new release.

Devs replied here: https://github.com/linuxwacom/xf86-input-wacom/issues/314#issuecomment-2143108034

TL;DR: This won't build on linux >6.6. There is a fix in the Github repo. I checked it out and sure enough the build does not give any errors.

@mod20: very strange. Are you building directly with makepg or using an AUR helper?
