Make Terminal Command Error

Hello. I recently installed Pardus 2011 32bit Linux. I am trying to get my wireless to work but in order to install my wireless drivers i need to use the make command in the terminal which i come up with an error.

Error 1: Tar.gz File Make Command

Code:

kroth@Kroth-PC hybrid_wl $ make

KBUILD_NOPEDANTIC=1 make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=`pwd`

I also posted these errors in the Linux Laptop and Netbook topic
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...-works-884433/

I want to know all of the packages I need to install in the package manager to get the Make command to work properly 100% of the time

I currently have the following programs installed:
gcc
kernel-module-headers
kernel-headers

I may have others installed but these are three I know of...

Did anyone else have this problem? I need to know all all the packages you know of needed to use the Make command.

Hi there,

Following are the packages that should be installed for "make" command to work:

ncurses
ncurses-devel
glibc-headers
glibc-devel
cpp
binutils
gcc
tcl
gtk2-devel
qt-devel
glib2-devel
libglade2-devel

Did you try running make after unzipping tar file? Did you check the MakeFile of the driver you are trying to install?

Yes i unzipped the tar file(s). I also have and read the MakeFile of the drivers.

I Installed all except the glibc-headers package since it wasn't found in the package manager.

Instead of getting an error message I got a warning message:

I will check to see if i typed in the wrong package and i believe I am making progress.

I wonder if I have to use sudo first...

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? Is there any more packages I need to install?

Nope! no progress made. I tried to use the Make command on the 1 most recent tar.gz file (after untaring ofcourse) and i got the same 1 error message.

Also sudo didn't work...

Yes you can give sudo make a try not sure if that will make any difference because if that would be the case it would have stopped way before.

Also did you run md5 check on the downloaded package just to make sure it is not corrupt.

You can run it using the following command: md5sum -c package_name

sudo didn't make a difference you are right.

I also tried doing the md5 check in terminal. Here is what I got:

Quote:

kroth@Kroth-PC Downloads $ md5sum -c hybrid-portsrc_x86_32-v5_100_82_38.tar.gz
md5sum: hybrid-portsrc_x86_32-v5_100_82_38.tar.gz: no properly formatted MD5 checksum lines found

So i am guessing it isn't corrupt.

I just looked at the error message that you have posted and it complains about missing header file. Do you have that header file in the extracted package.

Also have a look at this link: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/inde...t-1003776.html

I see. I do not know which header file you mean though so i cannot answer your question.

On the other thread I started said that i needed to patch the wireless tar.gz before it works and also trying that to see if the Make file wasn't compatible with my kernel. Just the patch refuses to patch...

I need help with running a patch in the terminal. I followed the instructions on the Broadcom sites http://www.broadcom.com/docs/linux_sta/README.txt and http://www.broadcom.com/docs/linux_s...00_82_38.patch

And after installing the package to use the patch command (found on the second link) i get this:

Quote:

kroth@Kroth-PC hybrid_wl $ ls
5_100_82_38.patch built-in.o lib Makefile src
kroth@Kroth-PC hybrid_wl $ patch -p0 5_100_82_38.patch

The bottom empty line is where the patch should be completing but nothing happens. Anyone know how to fix this?

Have a look at this link: http://linux.about.com/od/commands/l/blcmdl1_patch.htm

Also you can read patch command man page to get that info.

Can anyone help me find out whats wrong with my patch command? I followed all the instructions correctly and someone else I talked to got it to work but I have no idea what I did wrong. I already installed the packages to use the patch command. I need this to correctly use the make command to install my wireless driver.

patch -p0 < 5_100_82_38.patch

Thanks for the patch command that finally worked but it didnt correct the Make command at all...

I recieved a link from my other thread and the commands worked properly.

This thread is solved in a way. I think it was either Broadcom's laziness and/or me typing something in wrong.
