Arch Linux User Repository

To all having an issue with this driver: please try https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rtl88xxau-aircrack-dkms-git alternatively.

Please add linux-lts-headers to the dependencies

I have just pushed a new revision with missing makedepends. Thanks to all for reporting the issue.

That's right: any kernel module compilation will require the kernel headers. Since there are more kernels than the official Archlinux one, I don't know what the policy is in term of adding linux-headers to makedepends. I will enquire.

@zebulon: Solved. I lacked linux-headers-4.12.12-1 Sorry for the inconvenience and the lack of attention Thank you

@zebulon: I have the same issue as tornado76. After installing bc, I can build the package with makepkg but it fails with this error message, if I try to build in a clean chroot with the devtools scripts. I guess there is something more missing in the dependencies, but I am not that familiar with building kernel modules. ==> Starting build()... #make -C /lib/modules/4.12.12-1-ARCH/build M=/build/rtl8812au-dkms-git/src/rtl8812au-driver-5.2.9 clean cd hal ; rm -fr */*/*/*.mod.c */*/*/*.mod */*/*/*.o */*/*/.*.cmd */*/*/*.ko cd hal ; rm -fr */*/*.mod.c */*/*.mod */*/*.o */*/.*.cmd */*/*.ko cd hal ; rm -fr */*.mod.c */*.mod */*.o */.*.cmd */*.ko cd hal ; rm -fr *.mod.c *.mod *.o .*.cmd *.ko cd core/efuse ; rm -fr *.mod.c *.mod *.o .*.cmd *.ko cd core ; rm -fr *.mod.c *.mod *.o .*.cmd *.ko cd os_dep/linux ; rm -fr *.mod.c *.mod *.o .*.cmd *.ko cd os_dep ; rm -fr *.mod.c *.mod *.o .*.cmd *.ko cd platform ; rm -fr *.mod.c *.mod *.o .*.cmd *.ko rm -fr Module.symvers ; rm -fr Module.markers ; rm -fr modules.order rm -fr *.mod.c *.mod *.o .*.cmd *.ko *~ rm -fr .tmp_versions make ARCH=x86_64 CROSS_COMPILE= -C /lib/modules/4.12.12-1-ARCH/build M=/build/rtl8812au-dkms-git/src/rtl8812au-driver-5.2.9 modules make[1]: *** /lib/modules/4.12.12-1-ARCH/build: No such file or directory.

@tornado76: it is better to send logs in English. To do so append LANG= to your command (e.g. LANG= makepkg). That said I can read Spanish. As the error message states, you are missing bc https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/bc/. I thought it was part of base-devel, but it seems not, so I will need to add it to makedepends. Can you please install bc and let me know if that solves your issue?

@Svenstaro: I created rtl8821au-dkms-git package at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rtl8821au-dkms-git/. I have also updated the wiki. For 8814au I'll have to source first a correct, patched version of the driver. Once this is done I'll also do the package repo on AUR.

I have just pushed the new revision. Same package than -v5, I did some PKGBUILD cleanup though. Svenstaro: I shall do rtl8821au-dkms-git and rtl8814au-dkms-git asap.
