Arch Linux User Repository

DKMS builds are throwing tests/evdi_test.h: No such file or directory in multiple for me too.

I had to force my build server's makepkg (-f) to re-make the evdi-git package. After rebuilding it just now the machine which needs evdi-git had no problem calling pacman -Syu evdi-git and calling DKMS after getting the new pkg from this build server.

For anyone having trouble with the package not installing on linux kernel 6.12+ There is a compile error of the following:

/var/lib/dkms/evdi/1.14.7/build/evdi_modeset.c:507:10: error: ‘const struct drm_mode_config_funcs’ has no member named ‘output_poll_changed’
  507 |         .output_poll_changed = NULL,

I just fixed it by commenting that line in the folder: /var/lib/dkms/evdi/1.14.7/source/evdi_modeset.c Then running the command: sudo dkms install --no-depmod evdi/1.14.7 -k $(uname -r)

@GeorgP shouldn't that really be added to the pkgbuild by @severach?

@GeorgP Thank you, that helped! You made my day.

@hablitzel: I added

  find 'module/tests' -type 'f' -exec install -Dpm644 '{}' -t "${_DKMS}/tests/" ';'

above the line

  make -j1 -C "${_DKMS}" clean

to package().

I have a problem with installing the package on kernel 6.11.1-arch1-1 although using the sed command from @Segaja's comment. This is the output of

❯ LC_ALL=C yay -Ss evdi
aur/evdi-git 1.14.5.r2.ge36efa8-1 (+29 0.78) (Installed: 1.14.7.r3.g59a3a86-1)

What I did so far:

• yay -G evdi-git
• edit PKGUILD file and added the line with the sed-command at the end of prepare()-function
• makepkg -si

In the output of the last command I see some errors:

Consult /var/lib/dkms/evdi/1.14.7/build/make.log for more information.

The the aforementioned logfile I see this:

(I'm sorry for the German error messages but it didn't turn to English even with LC_ALL=C in front of the commands.

Can anyone help me with this?

Currently this package doesn't build with Linux 6.10.3 or higher. This is due to https://github.com/DisplayLink/evdi/issues/481

In order to fix this add the following line at the end of the prepare() function in the PKGBUILD file:

sed -i 's/>= LINUX_VERSION_CODE/<= LINUX_VERSION_CODE/' module/evdi_platform_dev.h module/evdi_platform_dev.c

Hi,

I have updated my kernel to 6.10.3-arch1-2 this morning and the displaylink service does not start anymore. I have the following error showing in the journal:

Module evdi not found in directory /lib/modules/6.10.3-arch1-2

R

On evdi-git 1.14.2.r0.g9905b9b-1 from 2024-03-18 16:46 (UTC), installation with kernel 6.9.6-arch1-1 failed with error:

(using Wayland).

Had to manually edit the PKGBUILD (e.g. in ~/.cache/yay/evdi-git/PKGBUILD) at line 90, from

install -Dpm644 module/* -t "${_DKMS}/"

to:

find module/ -type f ! -path '*/tests/*' -exec install -Dpm644 {} -t "${_DKMS}/" \;

Sorry folks. I should have read the posts before my post to get the needed information. It works for me after changing the branch in the PKGBUILD.
