as Juanito as already built the module for you, forgive me for making observation

--- Quote ---make[1]: *** /lib/modules/6.1.2-tinycore64/build: No such file or directory.  Stop.
--- End quote ---

Other posts by Juanito and others suggests you forgot to do this

--- Code: ---sudo ln -s /usr/src/linux-6.1.2 /lib/modules/6.1.2-tinycore64/build
--- End code ---

--- End quote ---

Thanks for looking into this aus9.
I tried "sudo ln -s /usr/src/linux-6.1.2 /lib/modules/6.1.2-tinycore64/build"

It makes the error go away
make[1]: *** /lib/modules/6.1.2-tinycore64/build: No such file or directory.  Stop.

However, it still does not produce wl.ko

So I think the mistakes that I posted right just before your reply is the problem.
Thanks.

--- Code: ---gunzip Module.symvers-5.4.3-tinycore64.gz
cp Module.symvers-5.4.3-tinycore64 Module.symvers
make SUBDIRS=scripts/mod

Prior to kernel 5.x this used to be a quick way to prepare the kernel source for an out of tree build.

Since kernel 5.x it looks like this is the equivalent of "make modules", which may take an hour or longer to complete.

One or the other needs to be done in order to properly prepare the kernel source.

Noted. Thank you for clarifying.. :)

Hi pek

--- Quote from: pek on May 14, 2023, 09:48:24 PM --- ... Because I didn't know where to find Module.symvers-5.4.3-tinycore64.gz ...
--- End quote ---
In your case that would have been  Module.symvers-6.1.2-tinycore64.gz.
It is located with the matching source and config files:
http://tinycorelinux.net/14.x/x86_64/release/src/kernel/

Hi Rich,
Yes I realized that after reading this
http://www.tinycorelinux.net/14.x/x86_64/tcz/src/wl/compile_wl

It was not hinted to download it (or at least I didn't know it's something to download) in
http://www.tinycorelinux.net/11.x/x86_64/tcz/src/wl/compile_wl
Which I initially tried to follow. Thus the confusion.
I thought "Module.symvers.." was some sort of command. :o

All good now.. Thanks
