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=1 or =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.

Upstream updated. Would you like to update this package?

EDIT 2020-06-16:

Upstream rebased on libfprint master, package has been updated.

Package is still broken, you still need to get an older fprintd version < 1.90 from ALA.

You can do that with downgrader.

In case anybody was wondering, Arch updated fprintd to the latest version, which requires libfprint-2.so, which is not provided by this package.

Until upstream merges libfprint >= 1.90 into his fork (which I tried to do myself on the vfs0090 fork but it requires manual API usage fixing, no time for that - sorry), you'll have to stick with an older version of fprintd.

In case anybody was wondering, the build now works. However, Arch updated fprintd to the latest version, which requires libfprint-2.so, which is not provided by this package.

@hmu confirmed. That's an upstream issue, however. I'll report that and consider adding a patch to the package.

EDIT: Unless I'm missing something, it looks like 3v1n0 rebased his repo on top of upstream master, but they made changes to the API and it needs refactoring. So, removing the #include "driver_ids.h" line doesn't help.

Long story short, the package is broken and there's not much I can do about it. Please help upstream and send pull requests if you can :)

hmu commented on 2019-12-27 22:37 (UTC)

This doesn't build for me, it complains about driver_ids.h missing. Apparently not all references where removed in the drivers.

@djres Reboot. In general, ask upstream.

djres commented on 2019-01-23 12:26 (UTC)

I'm getting some error:

$ fprintd-enroll Using device /net/reactivated/Fprint/Device/0 failed to claim device: Open failed with error -5

Anyone knows what's wrong?

depau commented on 2019-01-15 21:00 (UTC)

Sorry for having you waiting, I updated the PKGBUILD.

It stopped building because upstream switched the build system from GNU autotools to Meson.

djres commented on 2019-01-15 14:26 (UTC)

I get the same error as @speculees
