    I just updated to Unity 5.5 and all of a sudden on my game which builds to Windows and MacOS is getting this error when attempting to build to Linux. Up till a couple of days ago I was on 5.4 and not getting this error.

    I'm not a Linux user, any idea, other than remove all references to VRDevice, on how to fix this?

    Since VR is not supported on MacOS and the builds succeed on that platform I assumed that VRDevice equated to a null device but it doesn't look like the Linux build platform even knows about it.

    It looks like this is an unintentional API change on our side - VRDevice was exposed for all platforms in Unity 5.4, and only for VR-enabled platforms in Unity 5.5.
    You can work around this in your code by guarding references with ENABLE_VR (or, if you're only building for desktop, !UNITY_STANDALONE_LINUX) - we'll fix this on our end ASAP.
