so I've cloned this github repository https://github.com/xiangzhai/rt5370 It's a drive for my wifi adapter. My problem is that whenever I try to use the "make" command, it returns this error

/lib/modules/5.3.7-gentoo--g243aa7022-dirty/build No such file or directory

This is what I've tried so far

emerge --sync

emerge linux-header

emerge build

No luck, could anyone help me please I've been trying to fix the issue for hours now

  • Usually /lib/modules/{kernel-version}/build is a symbolic link to the source directory that was used to build those modules. For example /lib/modules/5.10.27-gentoo/build -> /usr/src/linux-5.10.27-gentoo/ It looks like you're missing that build directory.

Maybe a header issue?

ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-5.3.7-gentoo--g243aa7022-dirty/ /lib/modules/5.3.7-gentoo--g243aa7022-dirty/build

emerge linux-headers-$(uname -r)

  • I haven't edited os/linux/config.mk when I do the ls thing it outputs ls cannot access /usr/src/linux-headers* no such file or directory I tried removing the * still the same output

  • It returned a bunch of results inside /usr/portage/sys-kernel/linux-headers-5.12 and/var/db/pkg/sys-kernel also /var/cache/edb/dep/usr/portage and so on

Apparently my kernel wasn't actually compiled. Compiling my kernel fixed the issue.
