ardangelo / sharp-drm-driver Goto Github PK

I am trying to set up my beepy with Arch Linux ARM, using the files from https://github.com/DelusionalLogic/beepy-packages
The PKGBUILD file pulls in the git repository, so I am using the current source.

When the system tries build the module, I get two compile time errors (see attached make.log)

The first points to a function which was available with kernel 5.x, but seems to be removed with later versions.
I found this as a indication: https://www.spinics.net/lists/dri-devel/msg374191.html
Arch Linux ARM for Raspberry Pi comes out of the box with kernel 6.6.14

The second just needs another include file (drm/drm_fbdev_generic.h).

I know that Arch Linux is probably out of scope here, but sooner or later Raspbian will get newer kernels, so this is more or less future proofing ;)
