Any idea?

Thanks in advance.

Why aren't you using the AUR package?
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rtl8812au-dkms-git/

I have already installed kernel headers.

1. That was not what I asked. I wanted to know why you were building it from source.

2. Please post output in English: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Co … s_and_code

This dkms log looks like the driver was compiled and installed for kernel 4.11.9. The driver did not compile for your LTS kernel (4.9.37) since you only installed the kernel headers for 4.11.9.
This means you should have the driver now if you booted with the newer kernel. Are you able to load the driver with "modprobe 8812au" as root? Is it visible with lsmod afterwards and does the wifi adapter appear in "ip link"?

PS: jasonwryan, by chance the important bits of the log are in english. The rest is the normal pacman (--noprogressbar) output for a successful package installation.
