Error when compiling Intel® VTune™ Profiler Sampling Driver

[Haswellx86]

I am on Arch Linux with kernel 6.14.1-arch1-1. When I try to compile the sepdk driver, I get this error -

Failed to build the drivers

Which version of sepdk src did you use?

[Haswellx86]

I installed the intel-oneapi-basekit package from my distribution's repository which is currently of the version 2025.0.1.46-1.

[yuzhang3_intel]

Please try with 2025.1.

[Haswellx86]

That did not help. Still getting the same issue on 2025.1 version.

[yuzhang3_intel]

Ok, let's check and give you feedback.

This is a known issue and it will be resolved in the upcoming VTune version 2025.2 Temporary workaround is to modify the build-driver script in sepdk/src directory as

-BUILD_PMT="YES"

+BUILD_PMT="NO"
