I'm trying to follow the original topic's instructions, but it seems several extensions and the kernel config are missing for the arm6 release:

ncursesw-dev
elfutils-dev

and the kernel config at http://tinycorelinux.net/11.x/armv6/releases/RPi/src/

Is it possible to compile wireguard for tinycore arm6?

Hi ramblurr
Welcome to the forum.

...  the kernel config are missing for the arm6  ...
Courtesy of Paul_123:
Code: [Select]
sudo modprobe configs
zcat /proc/config.gz > <path to kernel source>/.config

... ncursesw-dev ...
The static libraries listed here and the shared objects in ncurses.tcz.list all have a  w  suffix:
http://tinycorelinux.net/11.x/armv6/tcz/ncurses-dev.tcz.list
http://tinycorelinux.net/11.x/armv6/tcz/ncurses.tcz.list

AFAIK, Wireguard did not make it into the official kernel until 5.9.y (Maybe not until 5.10.y).  And has not been officially backported.   I realize there are wireguard supported backports, but I'm not willing to deal with those.

If someone wants to take on creating the kernel modules and utils, we would gladly accept the contribution.

ncursesw-dev
elfutils-dev

The piCore equivalents are ncurses-dev and libelf-dev

Paul-123 has posted kernel module for armv6 wireguard-6.1.68-piCore.tcz , but there is no source build script published.

I would like to compile the kernel modules for x86 , I understand compiling instructions in this thread was for 4.x kernel and no longer apply to 5.x and 6.x kernels.

Any guidance?

Hi ovacikar
... I would like to compile the kernel modules for x86 ...
I think the module is already included as of TC12. Check here:
Code: [Select]
ls -l /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/wireguard

Yes indeed it was. A quick and dirty compile of wireguard-tools and it is good to go.
