Won't build from Deb on MBA 7.1

[simon-brooke]

Issues #45 and #55 relate, but I think this is not identical.

I'm trying to build on a MacBookAir7,1, which is of course not identical hardware, but which suffers from the same screen brightness problem. I don't believe this build fail is hardware related.

Installing gives the following:

simon@jeweller:~/Downloads$ sudo dpkg -i mba6xbl-dkms_0.0.3_all.deb

Please advise if there's anything I can do to help diagnose this problem.

Looks like the deb package is outdated. Try building from source instead.

Thanks, will do.
