[SOLVED] NVIDIA PKGBUILD link broken

Hey everyone,

I don't really know where else to put this, so I'll try it here: The NVIDIA PKGBUILD link on the homepage does not seem to work for me. That's all. ^^

By the way, do you think it would be beneficial to add a "Website" category to the bug tracker or something like that?

Edit: Thanks, link on the homepage is also working now.

Hmm...seems like the URL is wrong.

The following is the correct one.
https://github.com/Amzo/ArchBSD/tree/ma … tra/nvidia

Best regards,

There is a slight bug when building the nvidia driver. it looks for /usr/src/sys/${CARCH} which CARCH is x86_64 on ArchBSD,

So to fix the issue with building the nvidia driver use:

ls -s /usr/src/sys/amd64 /usr/src/sys/x86_64

If the file x86_64 already exists just remove it with rm -f

Thought we added this symlink to the kernel package already?

It's in the PKGBUILD, but there hasn't been a rebuild of the package yet. As it was just a minor issue.
