Please remember, that this package uses DKMS for building the kernel module and as such requires the kernel headers for your kernel installed. See also https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dynamic_Kernel_Module_Support

Another manual step that needs to be taken is adding your user to the plugdev group, e.g. using the command sudo gpasswd -a $USER plugdev.

I absolutely agree with vmsh0's suggestion, this error is stupid. It always messes up the installation and I have to edit PKGBUILD manually just because my PATH is a bit different. I don't even know what and when changed in the first place!

Hmm, the package version is 3.6.0-1 but the module is named /usr/src/openrazer-driver-3.5.1?

I get the following error using yaourt to get the package from AUR:

(~):yaourt -S openrazer-meta-git
==> Downloading openrazer-meta-git PKGBUILD from AUR...
==> ERROR: openrazer-meta-git not found in AUR.

Hi, I tried installing this package (v3.5.1-1) using yay and pamac but I'm getting the following error:

My python3 installation does point to /user/bin/python3

@gh4ever: See https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_User_Repository#Getting_started which is part of the base-devel group which you need to have installed before building any AUR package.

which is an unmarked build dependency, without which the python check fails.

To me this boils down to: 1) Either assume /usr/bin/python3 is the one and only python you like, and just explicitly use that. You have a transitive dependency on the python, so you know what's there, that's fine 2) Or print a warning/ask for a variable (that is not PATH :) to be set when python3 is not /usr/bin/python3, to communicate your concern to the user and ask for their confirmation.

This middle ground of both assuming something which is definitely there is good, but refusing to use it, is unconvincing to me. Having said this, at the end of the day it's pretty easy to work around this, so if that's the way you thing it shall be done, then it's all good. Just my two cents. Thanks for the package!

gilbs commented on 2022-09-03 14:00 (UTC)

Do you think it would be possible to provide a way to bypass the python path check that doesn't involve manual operations (like editing the PKGBUILD or changing the PATH)? One idea could be to check against some environment variable (e.g. ["${AUR_OPENRAZER_SKIP_PYTHON_PATH_CHECK}" = "true"]?).

I use asdf-vm which shims system python by default, so it should play nicely with this install script.

Thanks for maintaining this package.

the package wont install, no matter what i try. numpy dependency seems broken or outdated

EDIT: my mistake, i didnt do pacman -Syu X)
