I use Ubuntu on my desktop and was coming up with all sorts of errors as this is an Arch build I take it. Also tried on my Pinebook pro (Manjaro ) but again similar errors.
So questions:
Should it be possible to do on an Ubuntu pc? ( I have used it for long enough to have built drivers via the command line before using make etc)
Should it be easier on the Manjaro machine
If so I am happy to build a weekly build and host (different Alphas) so we can keep this moving. I am afraid I am not so good at squashing bugs but if I can compile and build an image and then back that up as an .img I am more than willing to do so to ease the burden.
Why?? Because out of the builds I have used so far on the Pinetab this is the nicest - even as it is better for me to use and more enjoyable as it is even with no keyboard (physical) or Bluetooth (pity)
Hopefully not treading on anyones toes but happy to muck in and help if I can
This should work under Ubuntu too. There's nothing arch specific with this build as far as I know.
Currently the keyboard works in the dev builds, but screen is broken. Probably because of the config used for the kernel build. We might be able to sort this out this weekend, with which one could use the flash-it script once more.
Once 3.4 is available on OBS it will be included too I think.
If you tell me the specific errors, I'll try to help you as much as I'm able. I'll update my kernel build for starters to include the latest changes, that may help a bit already.
OK happy to repeat this and post up the errors I get
Like I said it is more likely Ubuntu errors than errors in your build
Lets see
In the meantime I will wait perhaps until you update it
