Issues with r8168 PKGBUILD

Roberth · 2013-05-20 19:02:02

Hello, I use the linux-pf kernel and I need the r8168 driver, and the PKGBUILD in AUR, is outdated, so I decided to try to make my own quick and dirty one by modifying the one in community repo made for ARCH-kernel, but I am stuck when I try to run makepkg, I just get this:

Can't spot my error.... Anybody who can?

Well I found out, need to change to

        install -Dm644 src/r8168-8.035.00/src/r8168.ko "$pkgdir/usr/lib/modules/extramodules-3.$_kernver-pf/r8168.ko"

to

        install -Dm644 src/r8168.ko "$pkgdir/usr/lib/modules/extramodules-3.$_kernver-pf/r8168.ko"

But...

find: `r8168': No such file or directory

I dont understand what it is looking after...

You know that there are numerous r8168 packages in the AUR. There is even one for pf, but it is out of date. Still you could look over that PKGBUILD and compare it with something like the r8168-ck PKGBUILD, and see how it is done in those instances.

Edit: Is there some feature of the PF kernel that you use that might prevent you from testing this with the offical kernel from the repos? That might be the easiest way to determine at least whether the thing works or not.

Well, you said something i oddly haven't thought off, I just took the r8168-ck pkgbuild and change all the places where it said ck to pf, and it worked! Thanks.

Well I didn't think off that either, but oh well now that it's done.

So I'd love to hear back on whether the module is an improvement... update us when you get a minute.
