xboxdrv build failure [SOLVED]

http://pastebin.com/XhWTdTJd

The last few lines where the error occurs:

src/controller_slot.cpp: In member function ‘bool ControllerSlot::is_connected() const’:
src/controller_slot.cpp:72:10: error: cannot convert ‘const ControllerThreadPtr {aka const boost::shared_ptr<ControllerThread>}’ to ‘bool’ in return
   return m_thread;
          ^~~~~~~~
scons: *** [src/controller_slot.o] Error 1
scons: building terminated because of errors.
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
    Aborting...

What's going wrong here? I can't tell.

Re: xboxdrv build failure [SOLVED]

in controller_slot.cpp change

bool
ControllerSlot::is_connected() const
{
  return m_thread;
}

to

bool
ControllerSlot::is_connected() const
{
  return m_thread.get();
}

or

bool
ControllerSlot::is_connected() const
{
  return m_thread != nullptr;
}

Re: xboxdrv build failure [SOLVED]

I edited the file in src/xboxdrv-0.8.8/src and did makepkg again, but it failed again:

I forgot to check the AUR comments though, that should've been the first thing I did. Samleybrize posted a working version: https://github.com/samleybrize/aur-xboxdrv I was able to build and install that one.

Re: xboxdrv build failure [SOLVED]

I edited the file in src/xboxdrv-0.8.8/src and did makepkg again, but it failed again:

After editing the file you must run makepkg with the --noextract option, otherwise the changes will be overwritten with the original files.

edit: In this case the -o option (only download and extract sources) may be useful too.

makepkg -o
edit the file
makepkg --noextract

Re: xboxdrv build failure [SOLVED]

Whoops! My mistake. That explains why I was getting the same error... Thanks.
