[SOLVED] Failure Compiling Wireless Driver

I'm attempting to compile the rtl8812au driver from https://github.com/abperiasamy/rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux without much luck. I've got a base system installed with base-devel and my linux-headers installed as well, however 'make' fails with the error:

"scripts/Makefile:build:308: recipe for target '/home/$(uname)/rtl8812au/os_dep/linux/os_intfs.o' failed"

I previously had this driver compiled and working in eOS, so I'm not sure what I'm missing to get it working in Arch. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

We'll need more of a log than that to help.

Here's a log from running make:

Re: [SOLVED] Failure Compiling Wireless Driver

Googling "create_proc_entry" indicates that it has been deprecated and removed, so the problem is that the module hasn't been updated for recent kernels. You can try it with the LTS kernel, don't know if it'll build there or not.

Edit, looks to me like it was removed before 3.10, so the LTS kernel probably won't work, either.

Edit2, the repo was updated, are you building from master?

I am building from master, says it was updated 4 months ago and I'm still seeing "create_proc_entry" in the /os_dep/linux/os_intfs.c file. Are you seeing something different?

Re: [SOLVED] Failure Compiling Wireless Driver

Builds fine here, some warnings, but nothing critical. Commit 4c37a90842b2794bfae8835e3d485fc079215f9e should have fixed the error you're seeing. Try it with a fresh clone.

Yep, got it to build with a fresh clone as well. Also had to install wireless_tools, for some reason the device wasn't showing in

iw dev

but it was listed in

iwconfig

. Thanks for the help!
