I2C - Development header files?

How do I install the right i2c header file for Arch Linux?

In Debian, it's apt-get install libi2c-dev and that pulls in the correct header file with the right i2c/smbus definitions into /usr/include/linux/i2-dev.h

(There is already a /usr/include/linux/i2-dev.h but it needs to be updated for development work AIUI, and this is the case in Arch)

Or, makbe I'm doing it wrong, but I need to compile programs that use I2C and that works under Debian - just trying to get it to work under Arch too...

Thanks,

I think for now you could do this
Install git

Code: Select all

git clone --depth 1 git://github.com/raspberrypi/linux.git
cd linux
make mrproper
make headers_check
make headers_install

Could you pop along to https://github.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUILDs/issues and put your case
Perhaps suggest a package alarm/linux-api-headers-rbp is made?
Tell them I sent you
Thanks

So it looks like it is packaged (wiringpi) and just needs update

Yea, looks like it! Wonder how old the packaged one is ...
