zfs-linux failing in prepare() despite being able to run it (SOLVED)

Using pacaur to compile and install zfs-linux:

The prepare() function in MAKEPKG looks like:

prepare() {
cd "${srcdir}/zfs-${_zfsver}"
patch -Np1 -i ${srcdir}/linux-5.8-compat-__vmalloc.patch
}

I can run that patch from the directory from command line just fine. Yet it's failing. Where can I get more info on why prepare fails?

Thx in advanced.

What if you clean the $srcdir before building?

The next patch would create the file config/kernel-kmem.m4,
which already exists!  Skipping patch.
1 out of 1 hunk ignored

patch returns 1,  makepkg exits on the none zero return value.

Thanks for responding, I got it. I had upgraded kernels and it didn't have the headers. I ended up installing the git instead to get current headers.

First run of prepare works as expected

The -C option to makepkg cleans the $srcdir and prepare works,
As the -dd was passed to makepkg no dependencies were installed and linux and linux-headers packages were not installed on the system.

Thanks for the tip! Wasn't aware of -C or -dd flags.
