Arch Linux User Repository

For the beginners in need of assistance, first take a look at this recommended guide https://github.com/korvahannu/arch-nvidia-drivers-installation-guide - maybe it helps to solve the issues your are having with this version of the driver.

@SoftExpert: I tried it now with GCC 14 and I confirmed that working fine on my system with kernel 6.6.30-2-lts.

Question: does anybody has any kind of difficulties building lib32-nvidia-470xx-utils or nvidia-470xx-settings with GCC 14.x ?

I updated the package with the 3 suggested patches (each as individual patch).

On my system I could compile with GCC 13.2.1 and also for the xanmode kernel 6.9.0.

All seems good from my side. Big thank you to the patch author(s) !

Can anyone, please, confirm that everything goes well with GCC 14 / 14.1 ?

@benjarobin thank you for the patches, looks like it works. Don't forget to increment the pkgrel too. ;)

I reported my finding here: https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/nvidia-modules-470-239-06-build-failure-with-gcc-14-due-to-conftest-sh/292645

@benjarobin: can confirm, your patches works.

I improved the second patch to properly fix warning during conftest related to EFI (instead of hiding it).

To build a package with a proper fix, do the following:

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/nvidia-470xx-utils.git
cd nvidia-470xx-utils
curl https://0x0.st/XKB6.patch -o 0001-Fix-GCC-14-build.patch
patch -p1 -i 0001-Fix-GCC-14-build.patch
makepkg

See fixes provided by: https://0x0.st/XKB6.patch

Using -fpermissive is wrong, and introduces a major bug: The call to vmap is done with the wrong function call (missing one argument), as explained in [2].

I did create various patches in order to fix it properly, see [1] and the Nvidia fix that was back-ported [3].

To build a package with a proper fix, do the following:

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/nvidia-470xx-utils.git
cd nvidia-470xx-utils
curl https://0x0.st/XKmG.patch -o 0001-Fix-GCC-14-build.patch
patch -p1 -i 0001-Fix-GCC-14-build.patch
makepkg

@a821, @Mechanicus: actually i tried easiest workaround which is downgrade ['gcc-libs', 'gcc'] from 14.1.1+r1+g43b730b9134-1 to 13.2.1-6 and has been compiled and worked again as previously. Thanks you folks for your efforts to find a workarounds.

@unixv: Try -fpermissive patch. Copy the context to a file, for example workaround.patch, and then apply to the repo: git apply workaround.patch
