Cannot compile on Debian 12 kernel 6.1.0-23: errors in Card.h
When I attempt to run make from the latest release version I get the following output:

Debian 12 (Bullseye) kernel version: 6.1.0-23-amd64 (64-bit) X11 version number: 11.0 X.Org version: 1.21.1.7 KDE Plasma: 5.27.5 NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 with proprietary drivers
There seems to bee something wrong with the latest evdi version and debian. However.. add the synaptic repo to your system. Be aware not to install apt install evdi at this moment, the compiled version here has a problem with Debian (even 12.6 bookworm). Instead do this; sudo apt install evdi=1.14.6-10 (= forces the version)
Do not forget sudo apt-mark hold evdi to avoid evdi upgrading to the faulty version.
This will work in debian and you will be able to install displaylink-driver as well from this repo.
I ran into a similar problem @AngelBlue01 , but forcing version 1.14.6-10 as recommended by @HanSyt wasn't possible because this version isn't available in the synaptics repo. The closest available version for me was 1.14.5-93 and it installed correctly.
# apt install evdi=1.14.5-93
# apt-mark hold evdi
I am not able to reproduce it on evdi-1.14.5 with debian bullseye. Please with latest main. Or raise an issue again.
I still have it on Bookworm (Bullseye is old and eol since Aug 14: https://endoflife.date/debian) And yes with Bookworm/Amd64 12.8 it is still an issue, however, old versions are stil working on newer kernels, see image

I don't understand what problem you see. Card.h file is from pyevdi - python bindings that are not available in evdi.deb package. What errors do you have?
I tried to compile pyevdi on bookworm 12.8 and I don't see any issues.
I guess we are writing about 2 different things. I have a problem with packages from the synaptic package list:
han@Latitude5400:/etc/apt/sources.list.d$ cat synaptics.list
deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/synaptics-repository-keyring.gpg] https://www.synaptics.com/sites/default/files/Ubuntu stable main
deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/synaptics-repository-keyring.gpg] https://www.synaptics.com/sites/default/files/Ubuntu stable non-free
You are trying to solve a probably non existing compile problem (at my place).
I guess there seems to bee a difference between Debian en Ubuntu kernel packages. I am told synaptic compiles the packages for Ubuntu (not sure if this is correct) and might not be compatible with Debian at this moment.
Ok, Can you share what errors you see? I was no able to reproduce any issues with compilation on debian bookworm except problems with key enrolment (when secure boot is enabled). If this is yours situation please run
mokutil --import /var/lib/dkms/mok.pub
As it is described on https://github.com/dell/dkms?tab=readme-ov-file#secure-boot
If this is installation issue, then please attach logs. dkms should produce log in /var/lib/dkms/evdi/1.14.8/build/make.log
I was not able to check on this, sorry. However the good news is that the latest version: evdi/stable,now 1.14.8-133 amd64 [installed]
is working without any problem, so the issue seems to be solved in Debian 12 with kernel: Linux LAP70205790 6.1.0-30-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.124-1 (2025-01-12) x86_64 GNU/Linux
Thanks for helping
