Re: Problem while building broadcom-wl

SOLVED:

Rolled back to last kernel and latest kernel headers and i could build it again, guess i will wait until a fix comes out for this newer kernel.

I used:

sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/linux-3.14.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz /var/cache/pacman/pkg/linux-headers-3.14.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

Re: Problem while building broadcom-wl

When posting configs, code or command output, please use [ code ] tags https://bbs.archlinux.org/help.php#bbcode

like this

It makes the code more readable and - in case of longer listings - more convenient to scroll through.

Run

LC_ALL=C <command>

to get the output in English.

If you're using the https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/broadcom-wl/ AUR package, see the recent comments.

Re: Problem while building broadcom-wl

You could install devtools and use "sudo testing-x86_64-build" to build it in a chroot with the [testing] repo.

Re: Problem while building broadcom-wl

Is it because of the toolchain? https://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail … 36065.html

Re: Problem while building broadcom-wl

Hi, I have the same problem with the wl driver. I did the same thing as you but you don't have to recompile the driver everytime the kernel is updated. First download dkms :

sudo pacman -S dkms

and enable the service :

sudo systemctl enable dkms

and then don't download the broadcom-wl but the broadcom-wl-dkms:

sudo yaourt -S broadcom-wl-dkms

It worked for me til the 3.14 version of the linux kernel.

Re: Problem while building broadcom-wl

We have a wiki article for dkms https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dkms :-)

gcc 4.9 has already been moved into [core], so updating the system and trying again should be all that's needed.
