Kernel 4.0 / Debian: make programs fails with "Undefined reference to `build_channel_array'"

[bagage]

According to README, since I am running newer kernel than 3.16 I should only type make programs?
When doing so, I am getting linking error:

$ make programs
cd sensors && make all
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/me/yoga-laptop/sensors'
cc generic_buffer.c  -o generic_buffer
/tmp/ccpVnbqv.o: dans la fonction « main »:
generic_buffer.c:(.text+0x139a): référence indéfinie vers « build_channel_array »
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

make[1]: *** [generic_buffer] Error 1

Hmm. I'm not seeing that.

build_channel_array is defined in iio_utils.h as a inline function, so there
should be no linking issue at all.

Well, adding the following "patch" seems to fix the issue:

Hello,
I can confirm, that mentioned patch helped me to successfully ran make programs on Fedora 22 on Thinkpad Yoga 12.

[davidcortesortuno]

I have the same problem in Arch Linux Kernel 4.1.3, the patch solved the issue

[g-goessel]

Same for me. Using 4.1.6 on arch and the patch fixed it

[bagage]

Did someone actually managed to make orientation program work? Nothing happens here.

[davidcortesortuno]

I made it work for a Yoga 2 11'' laptop on Arch Linux

[bagage]

Did it required additional work? Basically running sudo ./orientation will produce:

iio device number being used is 5
iio trigger number being used is 5

And nothing more on kernel 4.2.0.1 Debian 4.2.1-1. Did you do anything special?

[davidcortesortuno]

Yes, I had to patch a kernel module, since for Yoga 2 laptops (11 or 13 inches) the kernel update to make the gyroscope to work is on the 4.3 version, and I am using 4.1.5

The kernel patch is here

http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/commit/?id=21589ebda68172baeb03f35533ee2ec34543bf55

I also opened a thread some time ago

#37

[bagage]

Hmm, thanks for these explanations!
I tried running kernel 4.3RC2 but Yoga 2 13" seems not supported - is that your second laptop? I should open a separate issue for that though.

[davidcortesortuno]

Sorry, I was confused. The guy who patched the kernel has a Yoga 3 14''

Do you have the same touchscreen and sensors? (Atmel, ITE)
I thought the Yoga 2 11'' was similar to the 13''

[bagage]

No actually there are different, but #30 seems like exactly my issue. At least I know that it does not work on latest kernel version yet ;). lsusb output is:

On kernel 4.2, I could see values changing in /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device3/in_rot_* (for name=dev_rotation) when rotating the screen but I am not sure what to do with that :).
