HI, Im relatively new to arch and i need some help.

https://github.com/sohaib17/mt7610u

so affter running the make command, i get
make -C tools
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/max/drivers/mt7610u_wifi_sta_v3002_dpo_20130916/mt7610u/tools'
gcc -g bin2h.c -o bin2h
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/max/drivers/mt7610u_wifi_sta_v3002_dpo_20130916/mt7610u/tools'
/home/max/drivers/mt7610u_wifi_sta_v3002_dpo_20130916/mt7610u/tools/bin2h
chipset = mt7610u
cp -f os/linux/Makefile.6 /home/max/drivers/mt7610u_wifi_sta_v3002_dpo_20130916/mt7610u/os/linux/Makefile
make -C  SUBDIRS=/home/max/drivers/mt7610u_wifi_sta_v3002_dpo_20130916/mt7610u/os/linux modules
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/max/drivers/mt7610u_wifi_sta_v3002_dpo_20130916/mt7610u'
make[1]: *** SUBDIRS=/home/max/drivers/mt7610u_wifi_sta_v3002_dpo_20130916/mt7610u/os/linux: No such file or directory.  Stop.

Re: help with building with make

Why are you trying to build it manually?  Use one of the AUR packages:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages?K=mt7610u

EDIT: though I'm not sure any of this would work.  You realize those "new" drivers you linked to are over 9 years old, right?

EDIT 2: isn't coverage for this now included in the kernel?  There's a mt76x0u kernel module which I gather would be for this chip.

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
