I've gone over the bulk of the "WPC11 version 4!" thread, but I need more basic help. I haven't found anything there that will help me get over the hump to compile the source code from Realtek's site as recommended. It provides a makefile that needs to be edited according to one's environment, but I'm hitting a wall.

One of the parameters is INCLUDEPATH and the provided readme lists /usr/scr/linux-2.4.18-14/ as an example. One question is, how do I find where is my include path is located?

In terminal I ran the make command with INCLUDEPATH as /usr/include/, but I received a huge number of errors. Also any hints on the proper use of the make command would be appreciated.

The source code I downloaded is for RH 9, and I am running kernel 2.4.20-24.9.

Many thanks

Isn't there a configure script?

Thanks for the reply ugob.

There are two configuration script files, ones that end in .c

After looking inside and finding the path of the required files, it seems my INCLUDEPATH is /usr/include/

Here is some output:

I guess I should post my last message on thread 61832 too.


Thanks

uname -r gives the current kernel for you to edit into your include path

jwspring,

Is the include path a directory that already exists, or does it get created in the make process?

I searched for existing directories named include, and the only one that seemed to make sense and contained the files referenced in the configuration script file was /usr/include/.

The only directory with the kernel number as the name was /lib/modules/2.4.20-24.9, but it had no include directory within.

Thanks,

The include string:
INCLUDEPATH=-I /usr/src/linux-$(KERNELRELEASE)/include/

It is looking for the incluce in the src directory

jwspring,

Thanks for the hint. I'll give it a try tonight after work.

Should I assume you used the makefile with that path and had some degree of success? Did a driver pop out at the end?

I've managed to compile it twice. Once with an previous version and recently with the 1.4 version.
