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.

Sorry for the delay guys. The notification email went to spam

Ok clearly something changed upstream and it needs sparse now. I'll do the patches

This still isn't fixed? Please add sparse to makedepends

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

@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}.
