Build fails in ArchLinux

[Edu4rdSHL]

Hello, trying to compile it on ArchLinux but got the following error:

To be more specific, the issue occurs when compiling pcileech_kmd/linux.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I've replicated the issue and will be looking into a fix.

@ufrisk hello, any news on this? :)

[ufrisk]

Yes, I fixed it in my internal development copy a month ago or so by removing the non-essential module that's failing compile.

Due to issues out of my control I've been unable to push the new release over here to Github; but I hope the other issues are resolved quite soon. Apologies for the delay.

@ufrisk hello! Have you plans to merge your development copy with master?

[ufrisk]

Yes, the legal discussions I had turned out alright the other week. I'll include this in the next release, which will be a major one unfortunately scheduled for August/September since it will include a lot of other things as well.

But my "fix" for this issue will be, as already mentioned, to remove the non-essential debug module that's failing to compile on more recent Linux kernels.

@ufrisk ok, thanks a lot! :)

I have removed the offending module failing to compile.

Unfortunately I also decided to split out some code pieces, such as the driver for the ftdi to separate .so modules (in the separate LeechCore-plugins repository after my discussions with legal about copyright. i.e. I put the relatively minor externally contributed code in a separate repository so I may in the future, if I so should with, be able to re-license under separate licenses (without these modules). This unfortunately makes it slightly more complex to compile; but just put the plugin generated .so files alongside leechcore.so and everything will be fine.
