Literally one line change to the PKGBUILD is required to make it work...but I'm too lazy/stupid to know how to edit a PKGBUILD on the AUR; so I'm just going to pin this comment instead, then disown the package.
Just remove -D x11examples from the meson build command.
@svfedorov thank you Could you try to request maintainership over this package? And maybe try to upstream the code?
I rebased the fork on the libfprint 1.94.5 and updated the driver accordingly. The PKGBUILD can be found here: https://github.com/Shade30/arch_libfprint-vfs009x
The package stopped working due to missing file "libcrypto.so.1.1". As mentioned by MartinX3, installing openssl-1.1 solved the issue.
So you need to : - Downgrade fprintd to version 1.90.1-1 - Remove the x11-examples option - Install the openssl-1.1 missing dependency
At least for device: 138a:0090 Validity Sensors, Inc. VFS7500 Touch Fingerprint Sensor
The package needs to be updated to install openssl-1.1 as dependency or it stops working.
Or it needs a rebase on the newest libfprint code base.
Unfortunately, I no longer use nor can I maintain this package anymore.
Can't build due to errors:
libfprint/meson.build:1:0: ERROR: Unknown options: "x11-examples"
A full log can be found at /home/<username>/.cache/yay/libfprint-vfs009x-git/src/build/meson-logs/meson-log.txt
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
Aborting...
-> error making: libfprint-vfs009x-git
@kugelblitz It doesn't conflict with fprintd. Newer versions are not compatible.
Is there any reason for the package to be conflicting with fprintd?
This packages conflicts with fprintd>=1.92.0, so I had to downgrade fprintd to version 1.90.1-1 to make my fingerprint reader (138a:0090) work. I also had to remove the x11-examples option as mentioned in previous comments to be able to build this package.
pacman -Q | grep fprint
fprintd 1.90.1-1
libfprint-vfs009x-git 1:1.90.1.r6.g2978dc0-2

The package will automatically apply a patch required for the vfs0097 reader if one is found in the system at build time, it will otherwise build for vfs0090. You can force a preferred behavior by exporting
VFS0097=1or=0.If you have any issues, make sure talk about it https://gitter.im/Validity90/Lobby so it has a chance to get fixed.
GH issues have also been enabled by upstream, so make sure you check that as well: https://github.com/3v1n0/libfprint/

The driver should work as expected, but same as above for any issues.
