#74 linux-gpib-kernel build fails on kernel 5.4.51

[andrew z]

Hello!

I unintentionally upgraded my kernel from 4.19.118 to 5.4.51 (apt upgrade -- oops). On the previous kernel version, I had a successful working build of linux-gpib. I realize that the latest tested kernel is 5.4.39 however, since I'm in this boat now, I attempted to rebuild and install linux-gpib on the new kernel version. However, this time I am getting build errors! If more info is needed, I can provide. Any thoughts/ideas/help are greatly appreciated!

Here is my setup:
Raspberry Pi 4, 5.4.51-v7l+
linux-gpib-4.3.3, revision 1916

I got the following errors when running sudo make inside of /home/pi/linux-gpib-code/linux-gpib-kernel/:

fatal: [raspberrypi]: FAILED! => changed=false

UPDATE: I removed the linux-gpib source files and redownloaded via SVN. I think the issue was due to using the same build folder as was used when building the previous kernel. Good news: linux-gpib works on 5.4.51!
