Xboxdrv build failure

Hiya,

Every time I try to install the xboxdrv package so I can use my ds3 controller I get this error at the end;

==> Starting build()...
usage: scons [OPTION] [TARGET] ...

SCons Error: option -j: invalid integer value: '9 -l8'
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
    Aborting...
Error making: xboxdrv

full install log: https://pastebin.com/cUrPGYpv

I have tried removing SCons and then trying the build, no luck. I am new to using arch linux so I am not really sure on what the issue is exactly.

Sorry for the trouble :c

Re: Xboxdrv build failure

Welcome to the archlinux forums Niaseer

scons -j9-l8
usage: scons [OPTION] [TARGET] ...

SCons Error: option -j: invalid integer value: '9-l8'
scons -j9 -l8
Warning:  the -l option is not yet implemented

What is MAKEFLAGS set to in /etc/makepkg.conf ?

Re: Xboxdrv build failure

#-- Make Flags: change this for DistCC/SMP systems
MAKEFLAGS="-j9 -l8"

is what I found c:

Do you want me to post the whole conf file in a pastebin as well?

Re: Xboxdrv build failure

Does the following build function work for you?

build() {
  cd ${pkgname}-${pkgver}
  scons \
    LINKFLAGS="${LDFLAGS}" \
    CXXFLAGS="${CPPFLAGS} ${CXXFLAGS}" \
    ${MAKEFLAGS}
}

Re: Xboxdrv build failure

Edit the PKGBUILD for xboxdrv remove the " from around ${MAKEFLAGS} then build the package with the edited PKGBUILD.

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/xboxdrv.git
cd xboxdrv

Edit PKGBUILD at this point.

makepkg -rsi

Re: Xboxdrv build failure

Scons is not parsing options based on spaces but the separation applied by the shell/makepkg with quoting the command becomes

'scons' '-j9 -l8'

scons will only accept

'scons' '-j9' '-l8'
