@ventureo Fixed, compiles fine now, thank you! So, just to make sure I understand correctly, was that caused by mold not actually being a "drop-in" replacement like the wiki said, or are there other factors at play here?

@Bugg4 You seems to have mold linker enabled in your CFLAGS, try to remove it and using simple ld from bintuils.

@Alekseus : libxnvctrl-580xx is a dependency for nvidia-580xx-settings. So if you try to install nvidia-580xx-settings it will also installed

I can't figure out what this package does(libxnvctrl-580xx). Is it similar to nvidia-580xx-settings? Should I install it if I'm using Wayland?

Bugg4 commented on 2025-12-27 01:13 (UTC)

@ventureo I do have base-devel and GNU ld version 2.45.1 installed. The package still cannot compile, same error as below. Any idea why?

ventureo commented on 2025-12-24 09:49 (UTC)

@Bugg4 You need to install base-devel package before trying to build any AUR package.

No luck nere, I'm getting a failed build because of collect2: fatal error: cannot find ‘ld’

@ventureo I also confirm that problem looks like fixed.

sxe commented on 2025-12-20 13:42 (UTC)

@ventureo I can confirm it works now. Both libxnvctrl-580xx and nvidia-580xx-settings can be installed with yay now. Thanks for looking into it. Much appreciated! I hope we can keep using our beloved hardware for much longer. Got a bit scared when they dropped support.

ventureo commented on 2025-12-20 13:36 (UTC)

@sxe @usta I think I’ve figured out what’s wrong, -2 should fix it.

Note for other AUR maintainers: The issue is that AUR helpers such as yay and paru run makepkg in multiple commands [1], first with --nobuild, then (for actual build) with --noprepare and this discards the context that makepkg had before. Thus, variables exported in prepare() when later package builds with --noprepare are simply missing and this breaks the build, which is not happen case of a single makepkg run.
