IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ:

|
If your system says that /lib/modules/...../build does not exist, you have not
|
|
|
|
|
installed the kernel headers, you have done it incorrectly, or you are not running
|
|
|
|
|
the kernel for which the headers have been installed. The necessary steps are
|
|
|
|
|
dependent on which distro you are using. Creating a new issue and asking at
|
|
|
|
|
GitHub will not be productive.

|
If a build fails that previously worked, perform a 'git pull' and retry before
|
|
|
|
|
reporting a problem here. If you downloaded the source in zip form, then you need to
|
|
|
|
|
get an entirely new source file. That is why using git, which downloads only the changed
|
|
|
|
|
lines, is recommended.

To compile the driver, you need to have make and a compiler installed. In addition,
|
|
|
|
|
you must have the kernel headers installed. If you do not understand what this means,
|
|
|
|
|
consult your distro.
