Help compiling ndiswrapper?

kinkinkijkin · 2014-07-16 00:00:47

So, I'm completely at ends as to what I've forgotten. I've run into this exact problem before but never reported to anyone how I fixed it, and have completely forgotten how I fixed it.

So, I'm not root, of course, and I run make uninstall, as instructed, no errors, run make, and I run into this:

  CC [M]  /home/myusername/folderwhereidumpedthesource/ndiswrapper-1.59/driver/crt.o
/home/myusername/folderwhereidumpedthesource/ndiswrapper-1.59/driver/crt.c: In fucking '_win_srand':

(that took way too long to copy)

I have base-devel (obviously), linux-headers, and ran pacman -Syu a bit before I tried this, but I still don't know what I could be doing wrong.

Also, I have no idea if this is in the right subforum, so, if it isn't, I'd love it if an admin/moderator could move it.

Is there a reason you aren't using the AUR package?

I tried the AUR package and that, for some reason, was successful but didn't work, so I fell back on the method I'm more experienced with.

Well, the AUR PKGBUILD is just automating what you are trying to do above. Your effort might be better directed in troubleshooting why your card is not working with ndiswrapper, rather than why it won't compile for you.

It's not that it isn't working with ndiswrapper, it's that ndiswrapper didn't seem to exist after I installed it via the AUR package.

EDIT: I feel rather stupid now, I just realized why the AUR package did nothing. I downloaded it via root and tried to install it later via my user.
