4 years ago Hi, thanks for the interest.
I've updated the build script. It now only depends on kernel headers and not complete source anymore. That should lighten the build process significantly. The warning you saw was from a checkpatch.pl script that checks code style. In the recently pushed update I've hiden that behind a commandline argument.
The other update in that push is a different way of building the module - it now only depends on the kernel headers. The 'make' statement is therefore also slightly different and will only build the module itself. Hope that make the output easier to understand.
Other than that I indeed see no evidence of the build failing. Thus, if indeed the build succeeds the module should be located in
Let me know if it works now, or if you run into anything else! Sgorpi
On Debian Testing, using linux 5.4, I tried to build snd-usb-midex.ko today. I downloaded the linux sources to /usr/src/linux-source-5.4. I have the midex driver sources in ~/src/midex8.
I did the following:
$ cd ~/src/midex8/src/kernel $ ./build.sh -k /usr/src/linux-source-5.4
and then the build process started. However, I did not get any binary module in src/kernel/sound/usb/midex (still only Makefile and midex.c). The end of the build process log was the following:
`LD [M] sound/usb/snd-usb-audio.ko CC [M] sound/usb/snd-usbmidi-lib.mod.o LD [M] sound/usb/snd-usbmidi-lib.ko CC [M] sound/usb/usx2y/snd-usb-us122l.mod.o LD [M] sound/usb/usx2y/snd-usb-us122l.ko CC [M] sound/usb/usx2y/snd-usb-usx2y.mod.o LD [M] sound/usb/usx2y/snd-usb-usx2y.ko CC [M] sound/x86/snd-hdmi-lpe-audio.mod.o LD [M] sound/x86/snd-hdmi-lpe-audio.ko CC [M] sound/xen/snd_xen_front.mod.o LD [M] sound/xen/snd_xen_front.ko CC [M] virt/lib/irqbypass.mod.o LD [M] virt/lib/irqbypass.ko make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/torquil/src/midex8/src/kernel' Running ./scripts/checkpatch.pl: WARNING: Missing or malformed SPDX-License-Identifier tag in line 1

According to the build log, I expected that the module was build, since it ways "0 errors".
