Unable to compile -Arch Linux
trogers121 opened this issue · comments
I ran into an issue where I was unable to compile the driver following the instructions presented here.
Navigating into the repo directory and running make:
make
make -C /lib/modules/5.15.6-arch2-1/build M=/home/user/CH341SER
make[1]: *** /lib/modules/5.15.6-arch2-1/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
make: *** [Makefile:7: default] Error 2
I then created the directory with:
sudo mkdir /lib/modules/5.15.6-arch2-1/build
Re-running make generates:
make
make -C /lib/modules/5.15.6-arch2-1/build M=/home/user/CH341SER
make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/lib/modules/5.15.6-arch2-1/build'
make[1]: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/lib/modules/5.15.6-arch2-1/build'
make: *** [Makefile:7: default] Error 2
I then found that a reddit post that indicated that the linux-headers package needs to be installed: https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/8j53dq/comment/dyx43om/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3
sudo pacman -S linux-headers
I was then finally able to compile the driver.
It may make the installation easier to provide a list of dependencies for building the driver.
