Hi !

I’m trying to compile nvidia drive in slackware 14.2 kernel 5.0 but an error occurs:

/tmp/nvidia-4568/nv-drm.c: In function ‘nv_alloc_os_descriptor_handle’:
/tmp/nvidia-4568/nv-drm.c:255:5: error: implicit declaration of function ‘drm_gem_object_unreference_unlocked’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]

Any suggestions to solve?

Hello,

I am not an expert, but this thread might shed some light on your issue:

Like TomK mentioned, the 340 driver has not yet been adjusted by Nvidia to compile against the 5.0 kernel. So you can either downgrade the kernel or use a patch e.g. from Arch

using the --apply-patch option of the installer.
