Problems installing ndiswrapper fc 7
 

I try to install ndiswrapper under fedora core 7 but i get following eror message when running MAKE and MAKE INSTALL:

[root@localhost ndiswrapper-1.48]# make
make -C driver
make[1]: Map '/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/ndiswrapper-1.48/driver' wordt binnengegaan
Makefile:24: *** Kernel tree not found - please set KBUILD to configured kernel. Gestopt.
make[1]: Map '/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/ndiswrapper-1.48/driver' wordt verlaten
make: *** [all] Fout 2
[root@localhost ndiswrapper-1.48]# make install
make -C driver install
make[1]: Map '/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/ndiswrapper-1.48/driver' wordt binnengegaan
Makefile:24: *** Kernel tree not found - please set KBUILD to configured kernel. Gestopt.
make[1]: Map '/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/ndiswrapper-1.48/driver' wordt verlaten
make: *** [install] Fout 2

Then I tried to figure out what the system is asking for and on the internet I found some usefull commands:

KBUILD=/usr/src/linux-`uname -r`
cp -p /boot/config-`uname -r` $KBUILD/.config

I tried these commands but I got the same error.

Does anybody know how I can solve this issue?

1st F7(the core was dropped after FC6) hit EOL(End Of Life) several years ago. There has been and will be no further support since that time. Currently F10 and F11 are the only supported versions. One month after F12 is released(November?) support for F10 will drop. Make life easier on yourself and switch to a supported version.

The ndiswrapper package is still available in the archive repos:

(above) has the dkms-ndiswrapper-1.53-1.fc7.rf.i386.rpm .

If you decide you must build from source (to be avoided on package based distros), grab the source rpm and look at the spec file. It will show you what tricks and patches the packager had to use to build the package.
