[SOLVED] error while building broadcom-wl

Dans564 · 2012-09-29 21:56:45

Hey all,

Im getting this error when attempting to build the broadcom-wl drivers from the aur:

make: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-3.5.4-1-ARCH'
/usr/src/linux-3.5.4-1-ARCH/arch/x86/Makefile:96: CONFIG_X86_X32 enabled but no binutils support
make: *** No rule to make target `Builds/broadcom-wl/src'. Stop.
make: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-3.5.4-1-ARCH'
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
Aborting...

Any ideas what is going wrong here?

-Dan

The answers to a couple of questions people have asked in the IRC:
- yes, I have base-devel installed
- yes, my multilib repo is enabled

So it's something to do with this line in particular:

/usr/src/linux-3.5.4-1-ARCH/arch/x86/Makefile:96: CONFIG_X86_X32 enabled but no binutils support

I have looked everywhere and have asked in the IRC, but I can not figure out what is going wrong here

What wifi chip do you have and which version of broadcom-wl are you trying to install?

Dans564 · 2012-09-30 18:01:04

My WiFi chip is BCM4321. And its broadcom-wl 5.100.82.112-6

Dans564 · 2012-09-30 18:31:11

here is my makepkg.conf

http://sprunge.us/QhCc

and here is my Makefile

http://sprunge.us/GjeW

I think they might be relevant

4321 usually works with the free b43 driver, I would give it a try.

Dans564 · 2012-09-30 18:38:06

OK I'll give it a shot, although historically broadcom-wl has been the only one to work with my setup. I'll try b43 right now.

Dans564 · 2012-09-30 18:47:11

get an error while building b43-firmware as well...

Other packages, for example google-chrome, build without any errors. I am baffled.

falconindy · 2012-09-30 18:58:55

"Building" google-chrome doesn't involve a compiler. Find a package that actually requires more than repackaging a .deb file.

If I may suggest, build Cower:

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=44921

It is a great program for handling AUR packages.

See some documentation for it here:

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=97137

If you find yourself using AUR packages I greatly recommend using Cower to manage them!

sorry, I wasn't aware there was a difference. could you suggest a package?

EDIT: never mind lol

thanks for the suggestion headkase, but makepkg -s fails on cower as well

You should not use the "-s" option (Sync Dependencies), try with just "makepkg" when you are in the PKGBUILD folder?

falconindy · 2012-09-30 19:18:48

Heh... build in path that doesn't have spaces in it, i.e. "/home/dan/AURBuilds" not "/home/dan/AUR Builds".

Dans564 · 2012-09-30 19:26:06

wow... laugh it up falconindy... it was the space... haha
TWO DAYS! I FEEL SO DUMB!
Thanks guys!
marking as solved....

Mr.Elendig · 2012-10-02 10:52:14

Sanely written PKGBUILDs should work even if the build dir has spaces in them though. But noone ever quotes $srcdir etc

falconindy · 2012-10-02 11:48:26

This broke in the Makefile, not in the PKGBUILD.

karachungen · 2013-06-28 22:19:03

Lol, have same problem!
