tp_smapi no longer works with custom kernels

After moving tp_smapi package from AUR to offical repository, it no longer compiles for custom kernels.

All I get is "FATAL: Module tp_smapi not found." and resignalling it changes nothing.

Re: tp_smapi no longer works with custom kernels

It looks like it's because it was moved from the AUR to the community repo. In the PKGBUILD file it builds modules for the kernel currently running. Are you using linux-ck? The maintainer built it for the arch linux kernel, not the ck-linux kernel. I'm using linux-ck, and here's how I fixed it:

1) Sync the abs (you do have it installed, right? sudo pacman -S abs if not) with

sudo abs sync

2) Copy the package files somewhere:

mkdir ~/Downloads/tp_smapi && cd ~/Downloads/tp_smapi && cp /var/abs/community/tp_smapi/* .

3) Build the package:

makepkg 

4) Install it:

 sudo pacman -U tp_smapi-0.41-5-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz 

5) Now you can modprobe tp_smapi or reboot.

Worked for me!

Re: tp_smapi no longer works with custom kernels

Yes, I figured it out. I am using linux-pf, actually.

This is really bad that the new package in official repo does not compile for custom kernels while the AUR one always did.

But I found easier workaround:

yaourt -S tp_smapi-dkms
