Arch Linux User Repository

Hi guys,

I found this documentation on kernel.org which points to a different repo:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/mmc/mmc-utils.git

I'm thinking this might be why the tree we knew moved to mmc-utils-old

I'll probably end up changing the source to that newer repo after testing for a bit, because the new tree seems more active.

UPDATE: The new tree builds fine for me. Also, make is part of the group base-devel, which is an implied make dependency of any AUR package.

I got the same issue with @sirocco and some others.
Firstly, you need sparse as a dependency package.
Then, it returns that compiler unable to open 'stddef.h'
I fix the issue by adding this patch to mmc-utils
How?:
Paste the text below to create a txt file named "0001-fix.patch" under src/mmc-utils dir, then run "git apply 0001-fix.patch --ignore-whitespace" in console

Then, the compilation should pass.

with sparse

I believe sparse is missing from makedepends, the build is failing here:

sparse -Wall -Werror -Wuninitialized -Wundef -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -DVERSION=\""123fd8"\" 3rdparty/hmac_sha/sha2.c
/bin/sh: line 1: sparse: command not found
(...)

I get the same error reported by @paulhart.

I tried running make directly and got a successful build.

Came across https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/makepkg#Makepkg_fails,_but_make_succeeds and set the !buildflags option, which enabled me to successfully build the package

This means that one/some of the following flags from my /etc/makepkg.conf caused the build failure

#CPPFLAGS=""

@Teeed I'll look into it thanks

Hi,

tried to build this package from 3c6b96c1b06f, but it failed on packing step

I'm getting a compile failure (it would appear the VERSION value in the Makefile isn't being passed to the compiler?):

To get rid of the "is not a clone of" error, delete the pkg, src and mmc-utils folders inside the folder where makepkg runs. For example, paru has these folders under ~/.cache/paru/clone/${pkgname}.

Thanks for updating!

Yeah I searched in the wiki also and you're right so I've added it.
