Error compiling controller driver

I’m still using a Logitech G13 gamepad, and as I keep moving away from Windows and towards Linux for gaming this has been the last thing missing for me. I’ve been running Debian as my everyday driver for quite a few years now and with a couple exceptions haven’t gone out of the repos too much.

I found a userspace driver for it on github https://github.com/jtgans/g13gui that looks like it offers the same functionality as the official Windows driver.

When running through the installation I checked the makefile to verify what it’s doing; I noticed this line

ifeq (${DISTRO},endeavoros)
DISTRO := archlinux
else ifeq (${DISTRO},arch)
DISTRO := archlinux
endif

That I changed to read

ifeq (${DISTRO},garuda)
DISTRO := archlinux
else ifeq (${DISTRO},arch)
DISTRO := archlinux
endif

but running through the build destructions it terminates with the following:

ERROR: Unknown options: "b_pie"
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
Aborting...
make: *** [Makefile:46: archlinux-install] Error 4

I’m not sure what to make of this one, I haven’t seen an error like this before nor can I find anything in the makefile that calls for the “b_pie” option. Any advice on how to proceed would be appreciated.
