Problem with installing the sunix-snx driver from the AUR.

Until a couple days ago, I was using a sunix multi-I/O card on my computer for older devices that use a serial and parallel port. but after performing a full system update with pacman -Syu it no longer worked, so I did the logical thing and tried reinstalling it using pamac, only to encounter errors.

Here is the paste of the full output: https://pastebin.com/NnqHuw8i

Thanks in advance!

Well, no, the logical thing would be to use makepkg so we could actually give more specific feedback.  As I have no idea how pamac works, all I can say is that the error is due to missing dependencies that are listed in the PKGBUILD.  Either read the pacman documentation to learn how to use it properly to handle dependencies, or use `makepkg -si` instead.

EDIT: Sorry, this wasn't the issue.  Though it is still expected practice on the forums to post output only from running makepkg directly.  Perhaps that include is not actually for the system file provided by linux-headers.

Re: Problem with installing the sunix-snx driver from the AUR.

Something deleted include/generated/autoconf.h provided by linux-headers,  could be a bad dkms.conf.
If you restore that file the package is not compatible with linux 6.4

Using makepkg -si doesn't work, here's the output: https://pastebin.com/Hz1WFW6g

Ah, so if the package isn’t compatible should I just wait for the package maintainer to fix it?
Also should I mark this as solved or not yet?

Re: Problem with installing the sunix-snx driver from the AUR.

Post a message on the packages AUR page to let the maintainer know the package needs patching for 6.4.
I would also suggest you investigate what deleted include/generated/autoconf.h.
Edit:
I missed there is a second incompatible kernel change https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commi … 9c45098ee5
So one possible patch would be
