here goes

Hi coreplayer2

I didn't see that other post. Copy/paste from a terminal is done by using the left mouse button to
highlight the text you want to copy then go to where you want to paste it to and click the middle
button, the text will wind up where the cursor is flashing.

So make is working and it's finding the makefile.

make *** /lib/modules/2.6.33.3-tinycore/build: No such file or directory, stop.

I believe that means the header files are either not installed or not mounted. Not sure how to fix that.
Maybe one of the administrators can provide a hint.

[coreplayer2]

thanks

the copy paste function may be related to the mouse settings because I lost this capability after setting up the mouse.  I disparately need a clipboard


 I think i'll reboot on last time then install compiletc and the headers again, then try

Hi coreplayer2

All you need is compiletc. The headers are included with that package.

[coreplayer2]

really??

[Juanito]

make *** /lib/modules/2.6.33.3-tinycore/build: No such file or directory, stop.

This error occurs when there is no symlink to the kernel source, eg /lib/modules/2.6.33.3-tinycore/build -> /usr/src/linux-2.6.33.3

A quick fix is to load the linux-headers-2.6.33.3-tinycore extension in addition to compiletc

[SamK]

make *** /lib/modules/2.6.33.3-tinycore/build: No such file or directory, stop.
make *** [ALL] Error 2

I believe that means the header files are either not installed or not mounted. Not sure how to fix that.

I can recreate these messages by deliberately not loading the header files.

@coreplayer2
In Control Panel-->System Stats is a tab "Installed". This lists what is successfully loaded.  Can you confirm that "linux-headers-2.6.33.3-tinycore" appears in the list.
If not visible can you confirm precisely each step you conduct to download and load the extension?
   
   

[coreplayer2]

Cool, thanks for the help

ok am uninstalling everything, rebooting and reinstalling compiletc and then the headers.  Am also assuming the directory with source files (and the makefile) needs to be copied to the tmp directory.

will cd to this directory and attempt the make command agin

[coreplayer2]

ok


compiletc & linux-headers-2.6.33.3-tinycore  & make are all listed now in the installed tab of tinycore system stats

Well, we're definitely getting there but still no cigar

he he! I found the middle mouse button restores clipboard copies

Well, the driver is not compatible with the kernel. Not your fault.

[SamK]

he he! I found the middle mouse button restores clipboard copies

That's what Rich was trying to explain in reply #16.

Well, we're definitely getting there but still no cigar

Can you post the full name and size of the zip file you downloaded?

Also it would be good to see a listing of everything in the directory that holds the makefile.
  

[coreplayer2]

yes thx I'd been trying to paste using both l&r mouse buttons which of course didn't work after changing the mouse settings, but I got it now thanks to you both


Ok this took some work but here is a screen shot showing the exact contents of the zip file extracted to tmp directory.  This looks a little different from your description right?


and the source download link I provided in post #1 I believe

[SamK]

Ok this took some work but here is a screen shot showing the exact contents of the zip file extracted to tmp directory.  

and the source download link I provided in post #1 I believe

The download link you provided is to the Realtek site - what I was asking for is the name and size of the zip file you downloaded.

An alternative way to provide a listing of directory contents is to run in a terminal:

Code: [Select]

ls -1laYou can then copy and paste the output (it's handy to know about the middle mouse button).
  

[coreplayer2]

Thanks I was looking for some quick method as opposed to editing a screen shot
 
a directory listing at the terminal  =  ls -1la    as in "LS -1LA"  ?  (lower case of course)

brb with the link

I think this is the link    the Hong Kopng server (HK1) from the same link from post #1 is the closet I can get to the link to the zip file.  if you select the  download server from the "Linux driver for kernel 2.6.x you'll get the zip file I used

size = 2018K


 well I provided the wrong link in post #1 but corrected that now, however the source I've been using looks to be the correct version

Ok I have the Linux source code from the branded manufacturer (Amped Wireless) for their UA150  adapter.  As far as I can tell it is for kernel 2.6

we'll see
