Compilation Issue

[codeeleven0]

cc fails at gettimeofday(&ev.time, NULL); with error fbink_button_scan.h:70:41: error: 'struct input_event' has no member named 'time'. I am using a Kobo Aura Second Edition and it doesn't have any hardware buttons. Is there any way to disable the compilation of this file?

[codeeleven0]

Just solved by editing the Makefile.

You also appear to be using a really old toolchain (or at least really, really old kernel headers), which might not be a great idea.

c.f., https://github.com/koreader/koxtoolchain

Because, yeah, while, button_scan is essentially deprecated here, not being able to deal with input_event will be... problematic if you ever need to do any kind of input handling ;o).

I tried to compile FBInk that comes with fbink-xdamage with the latest Alpine Linux chroot at my Kobo Aura SE. Then I encountered the error. So, I modified some files and it worked! Then I created a fork of FBInk and modified it for my Kobo Aura SE. After that, I forked fbink-xdamage and added my fork as a submodule. Gonna test it later. Just removed lines that add the button scanner from the Makefile and removed the import from fbink.c. If you add my fork of FBInk for Kobo Aura SE users (https://github.com/codeeleven0/FBInk-AuraSE) to the README file, I'd be really happy.

Any reason you are wanting to add a fork instead of upstreaming the changes behind a flag similar to the KINDLE, LEGACY, POCKETBOOK, CERVANTES, and REMARKABLE flags?

I want to make things easier. I am creating an install-script for installing Alpine and a minimal desktop on my Kobo Aura SE. Everytime I try it I don't want to hassle with configs, so I created forks, which will help me a lot.

There's no need to hack around it, the Makefile is already modular (c.f., https://github.com/NiLuJe/FBInk#how-do-i-build-it).

i.e., make sharedlib KOBO=1 SHARED=1 MINIMAL=1 will probably be enough for xdamage, and you'll get a (much) smaller library to boot. (If in doubt, pass DRAW=1, too, but IIRC, it just needs to be able to refresh).

But I am compiling FBInk from fbink-xdamage. Because of that I created a fork with some hacks.

That sure sounds easier than just updating one line...

And as far as xdamage is concerned, https://github.com/schuhumi/fbink-xdamage/commit/de2e6de6e532d698ab0e6e73319e4a50b942cfbd may be relevant to your interests ;).

I am making a shortcut for an automated script in NickelMenu. So, it would be easier to run and repos are up to date.
