dkms modules fail to build on raspberry pi (missing arm64 aarch64 symlink) #24106

Closed SumGR closed 3 years ago

SumGR commented 4 years ago

I'm using the void Linux image for the raspberry pi3. I'm trying to load an external USB Wi-Fi module. The rtl8822bu-dkms fails to build because it's looking for aarch64 kernel headers. 

xbps-install -S rtl8822bu-dkms-20200407_1

DKMS module '88x2bu-20200407' already added, skipping.

DKMS module '88x2bu-20200407' failed to build, please check /var/lib/dkms
for errors in the log file.

The DKMS build logs show this:

I tried installing the rpi-kernel-headers package, but it seems to place all the headers in /usr/src/rpi-kernel-headers-4.19.127_2 under the arch of arm64 instead of aarch64

I ran the following to get the module to build:

cd /usr/src/rpi-kernel-headers-4.19.127_2/
ln -s arm64 aarch64
xbps-install -Sf rtl8822bu-dkms-20200407_1

This seems to affect other dkms modules as well. Should the rpi-kernel-headers package be patched to always have this symbolic link so dkms modules can build? or is this something that should be fixed (or is fixed) upstream in dkms?

I recall this issue came up once before ..? passing ARCH=aarch64 is wrong, it's named arm64 in the kernel

Piraty commented 3 years ago

as pointed out by @pbui on IRC, there's a note in the project's readme about non-x86 archs. that makefile should be patched to pick the correct karch
