 |
|
Same error with 346.16 as well as with 343.22-r2 (which i'm running on atm, which implies it must have compiled fine in past)
Tried to upgrade kernel too (3.12.17 to 3.17.3)
The auto.conf and autoconf.h are presenton correct locations (that's all i could read that could be wrong from the log)
ebuild.log: http://pastebin.com/xhbuFmj8
emerge --info: http://pastebin.com/sJfSCKb9
Thanks for the hints
edit:
forgot to mention this was after the ABI keyword updates. I'm using ABI_X86_64 (with _32 for a few packages)

I have some patches for older nvidia drivers, my hardware does not support
versions later than 340.X, so I haven't tried these with later versions.
The patches are in this file containing patches and symbolic links:
http://dev.gentoo.org:/~gienah/unsupported/etc-portage-patches-x11-drivers-nvidia-drivers-334.21-for-kernel-gt-3.14.tar.gz
Then if you wanted to try it you would extract it as root in the / directory:
| Code: | cd /
tar xvf etc-portage-patches-x11-drivers-nvidia-drivers-334.21-for-kernel-gt-3.14.tar.gz |
In the future when the nvidia drivers are updated, then the idea is to create a symbolic link and test
if the patch works or not with the later version, something like:
| Code: | cd /etc/portage/patches/x11-drivers
ln -s nvidia-drivers-334.21 nvidia-drivers-346.16 |
If that doesn't work, it will be necessary to remove that symbolic link, and instead create
a directory for nvidia-drivers-346.16 instead, and search for a patch that will work. |

There seems to be problems with your memory (ram) and acpi according to the build log
a little googling reveals issues with nvidia drivers on kernels above 3.8 with very similar compilation errors.
https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/528786/-solved-linux-3-8-incompatibility/
maybe upgrading to a later unstable kernel (when one gets releases , since your using the curent latest) with a newer version of the nvidia drivers could solve this issue.
According to this source both Nvidia and kernel devs have had some delays in deploying and implementing fixes.
It also seems that there are bugs with many gentoo kernels while compiling nvidia.
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=447566
A temporary fix most likely to work would be downgrading your kernel to compile nvidia with that version.

I think the ebuild already enforce that Jaglover if i remember right |

Thank you, this worked! I tried with -j1 before but that failed too, so the FEATURES must have made the difference.
As i wrote above, I was running on kernel 3.12.17 and nvidia-drivers 343.22-r2, and suddenly when trying to recompile them it didn't work, so something else must have changed. Then also tried all combinations with kernel 3.17.3 (newest) and nvidia-drivers 346.16 without success. |

Yea, you remember it right, above is just what I use when some (any) build fails, before I start digging deeper.
