[SOLVED] error while building broadcom-wl

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

Re: [SOLVED] error while building broadcom-wl

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

Re: [SOLVED] error while building broadcom-wl

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

Re: [SOLVED] error while building broadcom-wl

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

Re: [SOLVED] error while building broadcom-wl

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

Re: [SOLVED] error while building broadcom-wl

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.

Re: [SOLVED] error while building broadcom-wl

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

Re: [SOLVED] error while building broadcom-wl

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

Re: [SOLVED] error while building broadcom-wl

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! smile

Re: [SOLVED] error while building broadcom-wl

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

Re: [SOLVED] error while building broadcom-wl

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

Re: [SOLVED] error while building broadcom-wl

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

Re: [SOLVED] error while building broadcom-wl

This broke in the Makefile, not in the PKGBUILD.
