• OpenWrt version:
  • Git branch openwrt-22.03 from git://git.openwrt.org/openwrt/openwrt.git,
  • initially checked out on 2022-07-05,
  • latest git pull and ./scripts/feeds update -a && ./scripts/feeds update -a on 2022-07-14, ca. 12:00 UTC
    (I give up on posting latest commit date and hash, since git log gives me some old dates, and I don't know how I can make git log printing out the last operation. I don't know much about git.)
• Building on GNU/Linux on x86_64-architecture (Distribution: Artix Linux).

It seems the Makefile believes that there is a parallel port, but configure disagrees.

@pprindeville The code in the Makefile is originally from you. Have any ideas?

[pprindeville]

See PR #19055... tester needed.

[dreirund]

See PR #19055... tester needed.

I can't test due to lack of parallel port on my device.

I don't believe this runs on ARM hardware.

[haraldg]

I don't believe this runs on ARM hardware.

I use lcdproc only on ARM machines. But of course without an parallel port.

[pprindeville]

Fixed with PR #19055

[pprindeville]

Will remove x86 restriction when lcdproc/lcdproc#197 gets resolved.

[dreirund]

Fixed with PR #19055

I don't see it fixed.

I manually backported the changes mentioned there into the Makefile (except for the x86 restriction).

Then, build fails with

Can you move out the x86 specific drivers to a seperate package lcdproc-drivers-x86, make that depend on x86 architecture, and disable all x86-specific code in the generic lcdproc packages?
