Compiling drivers for edimax ew-7822uac

Hi,

I am trying to compile the drivers for a wifi dongle
from a cloned github repo,
but I get the following output for
make --debug=v:

Can someone maybe help me in identifying the problem?

Re: Compiling drivers for edimax ew-7822uac

Did you ever get your Edimax EW-7822UAC working? I need a new wifi adapter and it seems from Amazon and Newegg reviews that it's possible to get this one working....

Edit: Nevermind, I was an idiot and didn't read around on the forums first.... It looks like others have got it working, so it looks like they have a purchase from me.

nuksan, this is a borderline necrobump, but if you have new information that's certainly welcome.

It sounds like you did find a solution - so don't just say "nevermind" share the solution so others can benefit from it.
