Error in package_nvidia-dev-utils-tkg()

[pkejval]

When I'm building from path /home/<user>/source/nvidia-all I got error: ln: failed to create symbolic link '/home/<user>.so': Permission denied

But when I move git repo from /home/<user>/source/nvidia-all to /home/<user>/nvidia-all build is working. I was building from my source folder for months. Now it's not working from it.

having the exact same issue...

Same issue with 470.74, had the same issue with the previous version. The issue appears to be with 3e05cde. Commenting out the vulkan-producer block allows for compile/install. Obviously not useful if you require whatever that does (CUDA maybe?).

So I maybe found the issue. On line 330 of the PKGBUILD there's a function

_create_links() {
  # create missing soname links
  for _lib in $(find "$pkgdir" -name '*.so*' | grep -v 'xorg/'); do
    # Get soname/base name
    _soname=$(dirname "$_lib")/$(readelf -d "$_lib" | grep -Po 'SONAME.*: \[\K[^]]*' || true)
    _base=$(echo "$_soname" | sed -r 's/(.*).so.*/\1.so/')

    # Create missing links
    [ -e "$_soname" ] || ln -s $(basename "$_lib") "$_soname"
    [ -e "$_base" ] || ln -s $(basename "$_soname") "$_base"
  done
}

This is called at the end of each grouping. It runs readelf -d and greps for SONAME in the results. For whatever reason (not my area of expertise) libnvidia-vulkan-producer doesn't have a SONAME entry listed, so it appears it errors out. I just commented it out as I don't install egl_wayland and it appears that it requires it (NEEDED) Shared library: [libnvidia-egl-wayland.so.1]. You could just change it to

_create_links() {
  # create missing soname links
  for _lib in $(find "$pkgdir" -name '*.so*' | grep -v 'xorg/'); do
    # Get soname/base name
    if [[ $_lib != *libnvidia-vulkan-producer.* ]]; then
      _soname=$(dirname "$_lib")/$(readelf -d "$_lib" | grep -Po 'SONAME.*: \[\K[^]]*' || true)
      _base=$(echo "$_soname" | sed -r 's/(.*).so.*/\1.so/')

      # Create missing links
      [ -e "$_soname" ] || ln -sv $(basename "$_lib") "$_soname"
      [ -e "$_base" ] || ln -sv $(basename "$_soname") "$_base"
    fi
  done
}

Probably something off there but... This driver also seems to cause a small issue with sddm.

While I cannot reproduce the issue on my end, @jnines is right. That file doesn't have a SONAME entry. I'm fine with the proposed workaround.
