Installer log

Installed TW snapshot, downloaded latest Nvidia driver for Geforce GTX 960 card and tried to build from source.
See attached log for error

The errors seen in the log are due to compile errors in the shim layer of NVIDIA which does not fit to the TW kernel any more. Please report this to NVIDIA. 
We do not support the NVIDIA binary only driver on TW - users who would like to use this driver on TW should compile it themselves and be prepared to report issues to NVIDIA directly.

JFYI, NVIDIA is planning to do another 340.xx release, which fixes the build for current kernels. You may find patches in NVIDIA's forums, which already helps you building it. In case you really need 340.xx. I don't see such build issues with 367.27 ...
