MAKE is not working

MatthewMeredith

Hey everyone,

Is there anything special I need to do to get "make" to work? I'm trying to get the wifi driver for my AC53 dongle installed but I'm stuck at this error:

make ARCH=x86_64 CROSS_COMPILE= -C /lib/modules/5.0.7-114.current/build M=/home/morgan/rtl8822bu modules make[1]: *** /lib/modules/5.0.7-114.current/build: No such file or directory. Stop. make: *** [Makefile:1318: modules] Error 2
Any help? Thanks!

Try to install the linux-current-headers

Thanks, kyrios! I had linux-headers but not current! Okay, here's the new error lol:
morgan@desktop ~/rtl8822bu $ make make ARCH=x86_64 CROSS_COMPILE= -C /lib/modules/5.0.7-114.current/build M=/home/morgan/rtl8822bu modules make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-5.0.7-114.current' arch/x86/Makefile:146: CONFIG_X86_X32 enabled but no binutils support ./scripts/gcc-version.sh: line 26: gcc: command not found ./scripts/gcc-version.sh: line 27: gcc: command not found make[1]: gcc: Command not found make[1]: gcc: Command not found make[1]: gcc: Command not found make[1]: gcc: Command not found CC [M] /home/morgan/rtl8822bu/core/rtw_cmd.o /bin/sh: gcc: command not found make[2]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:277: /home/morgan/rtl8822bu/core/rtw_cmd.o] Error 127 make[1]: *** [Makefile:1576: _module_/home/morgan/rtl8822bu] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-5.0.7-114.current' make: *** [Makefile:1318: modules] Error 2

I'm guessing I need to install gcc 😛

Okey dokey, gcc installed and make run again... Lots of output, here's the final bit:

By the way I'm following the tutorial found here as someone else here said it worked for them.

Another update - I rebooted and tried make again, this time the output is much smaller. Here it is in its entirety:
