Anyone know how to solve the following?

root@root:~/Desktop/broadcom driver# make
KBUILD_NOPEDANTIC=1 make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=`pwd`
make[1]: Entering directory `/lib/modules/2.6.39.4/build'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `driver'. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/lib/modules/2.6.39.4/build'

Hello,

What distro are you running? You need to install at least kernel-devel on your system to have access to the needed dependencies for compiling.

Cheers,

Josh
