BMD drivers fail to build on kernel 5.15

Hi there... I am testing BMD drivers on Ubuntu Jammy which will be release in about 3 weeks.
Driver 12.2 fails to build.
Linux ColorConnectE01 5.15.0-23-generic #23-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 11 14:54:05 UTC 2022 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Code: Select all

********************************************************************************
Failed to build driver(s)

Possible causes:
 1. Driver is incompatible with your kernel version
 2. Kernel headers/gcc/make/etc. is not installed
 3. Kernel header version does not match the running kernel (5.15.0-23-generic)

Unfortunately this error message just says that it failed and doesn't actually include the error. You'll need to also post the error log.

/var/lib/dkms/blackmagic/12.2a12/build/make.log

I'm not sure if this will include sensitive information so be sure to look it over and remove anything private before posting.

Hi Alan,

Please update to Desktop Video 12.2.2 as this version adds support for Linux kernel 5.15.

Oh, this is good to read. It'll be great to see BMD drivers certified on 22.04. Just as a side note, the Jammy Jellyfish release notes also indicate a 5.17 kernel for some hardware.
