Issues with PKGBUILDing kernel. (auto-optimization and patching brs.c)

Gday,
I've just started trying to build your stuff on a fresh manjaro install. I'm a longtime debian user, so I'm slowly feeling my way around pacman etc. I managed to compile your wine repository no worries from the script. I'm now working on the kernel.

Doing makepkg -i I've hit two snags.

First:

`Setting config...

| APPLYING AUTO-CPU-OPTIMIZATION |

[*] DETECTED CPU (MARCH) : BDVER2

/home/john/Linux-NSPA-pkgbuild/linux-nspa/PKGBUILD: line 207: /home/john/Linux-NSPA-pkgbuild/linux-nspa/configure: No such file or directory
`
But i I run makepkg -i a second time I hit:

patching file arch/x86/events/amd/brs.c Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected! Skipping patch. 2 out of 2 hunks ignored -- saving rejects to file arch/x86/events/amd/brs.c.rej patching file arch/x86/events/amd/core.c ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in prepare(). Aborting...
If you have some time to help me sort this out, that would be great.

I need to learn more about kernel building on arch - probably no need for an issue here, sorry!

Hey there,

do you have the base-devel package installed?

also, you can't run makepkg again without first deleting the /src folder ~ makepkg will try to patch the kernel sources again, which is the error you are seeing above. Everytime you want to run makepkg, delete the /src and /pkg folders...

@sirjohndfox

Not sure if you have tried to build this kernel again: but you shouldn't have any issue building it now. I changed some of the build options around and streamlined things. you still need to replace my config - but the issues you hit before shouldn't crop up.

just an fyi.

Thanks, I eventually fumbled my way through this script. I did have trouble with use_optimization select 'if [ -n "$_use_optimization_select" ]; then source "${startdir}"/configure cpu_arch fi ' There was no file called configure so I disabled it. I'm interested in setting up the core of a one-man band too - may I ask what laptop and interface you use? I'm on an old thinkpad with i7-6 with 16gb of ram with an old usb interface. I probably need to upgrade I guess. Money's a bit tight though. Thanks again.
