Unable to compile for Linux 6.2.2

[swishkin]

I'm receiving this error when trying to compile for Linux 6.2.2. Worked great for 6.1.x by cloning with compatability-updates option. The below is the output when compiling without compatibility updates:

How can I resolve this issue?

[LeonardoBein]

I have the same problem. @swishkin you found a solution ?

[swishkin]

I just decided to stay on 6.1.12, so I blocked my distro from upgrading the kernel, because that requires recompiling/reinstalling, which doesn't succeed in my testing.

I'm planning to move to another distribution, I think, so maybe the grass will be greener there.

[fabscav]

@swishkin check out #47 for information on how to get it running on kernels >= 6.2.

[swishkin]

@fabscav, I think that's how I got it working on 6.1.12, but I wasn't able to do the same on 6.2+. I admittedly may have done something wrong or given up too soon, but it's been months since I was really focusing on this, so I can't remember the details.

[fabscav]

@swishkin as mentioned in the comments of that PR, I've recently made some additional changes in my fork, which should enable compatibility with kernels >= 6.2

[swishkin]

@fabscav, just tried cloning your fork (https://github.com/fabscav/rcraid-dkms.git), running makepkg -si, and I receive the same errors as shown in my initial log paste. Is an argument required to make it compile properly?

My output this time does seem to exclude this line, for whatever reason:

make[2]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:252: /home/swishkin/rcraid-dkms/arch/src/rc_msg.o] Error 1

Also, trying to clone this repo with git clone https://github.com/Exioncore/rcraid-dkms -b compatibility_updates as suggested in #49 still produces the same errors as shown in the second paste in my OP.

[fabscav]

@swishkin

I receive the same errors as shown in my initial log paste.

I don't see how that's possible, since the includes mentioned on that log paste don't exist anymore in the codebase of my fork.

My mistake! Your readme has the original git clone command, so I wasn't cloning your repo. It installed just fine now. Thanks!
