I think this should be remade to -dkms package then

I went ahead and fixed an existing build issue by patching source, but that was not the issue you encountered. You likely built it outside of a clean chroot on an updated but not rebooted system, or you run linux-lts, in which case you need to install the lts headers. Happy cpi-dancing.

If it builds, then of course I can try to see if it works and listen to it. But if not ,then I report build failues etc.

So you are just trying around to see if stuff is working without actually having an interest in them? Interesting hobby, but okay. Whatever float your goat. I can look into it, but given the low interest don't expect a high pace…

Then if this doesn't work it should be deleted. I have no intention to use it.

No offense, pal, buy you are pretty late to the party. This is a music release from 11y ago, and noone has been using this …unusual… distribution format for a while now. If you feel hacky and want to listen to it via kernel module instead of looking it up on bandcamp do yourself a favour and fix this thing. Posting your success here is appreciated. Happy hacking!

ok i think adding linux-headers and git to makedepends and vorbis-tools to optdepends fixes (as in namcap-no-complain) all this. even if vorbis-tools is recommended upstream, it is by no means the only player suitable for this. thanks for pointing out.

Well, I added the depends to the PKGBUILD on two different machines and I didn't get any complaints when building on either.

fordprefect commented on 2014-04-27 13:56 (UTC)

@jpope: thanks for reminding me. git should be a makedepends. the other 2 were excluded (they were in bevore) because namcap coplained about them being unnessecary. do you disagree with that?
