Manual compiling issue

[schabrackes]

Sorry but maybe I'm just too stupid, I get an error when compiling the code:

micha@gamertux ~/Desktop/new-lg4ff-0.3 $ LC_MESSAGES=C make

I tried to compile it with 5.4 kernel sources but got the same result. Not sure what I'm doing wrong here. I've no experience in compiling code manually. Thanks!

It seems you have a kernel configuration that disables some parts of the hid-logitech driver. new-lg4ff wasn't handling this case well. I've uploaded a fix. Please, can you try with the latest code in the master branch?

It's working now! Thanks! I tested ETS2 and Dirt Rally so far - feeling great!

Thanks for the confirmation.

Please open a new issue and explain the steps you took to build.
