ODROID-C2 Linux include headers bug?

[jowemi]

Hi there,

When trying to compile the RTL8188EU module on the ODROID-C2 using linux-odroid-c2-headers 3.14.65-18 I get the following error output: http://pastebin.com/AtC2vYFA
It looks like it is trying to include ../../arm/<something> where it should be ../../arm64/<something>.

Also happens with the 8188eu-dkms package from AUR.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Hey!

I've had the same problem compiling the module for my adapter, although it was the 8192. I've managed to get it running. It's dirty and hacky, but it worked. Hopefully, this will help you as well. Are you installing from the AUR? I've had the best luck doing it manually with makepkg, as I had to hack at the code a bit.

Run updates and reboot, if your kernel is upgraded (mine is -19, your was -18).

Now, our architecture is aarch64, not arm or arm64. Make symlinks to trick it into including everything:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'cd /usr/lib/modules/3.14.65-19-ARCH/build/arch/
sudo ln -s arm64/ aarch64
sudo ln -s arm64/ arm')

Get the PKGBUILD:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/8188eu-dkms.git && cd 8188eu-dkms')

Edit the PKGBUILD (nano/vim) and change the architecture to aarch64 (if needed - I had to). Try it:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'makepkg -sri')

If it runs, perfect! I still had bugs, so if you do too, keep going. This is what popped up for me:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '/')usr/lib/modules/3.14.65-19-ARCH/build/arch/aarch64/include/asm/dma-mapping.h:45:10: error: 'xen_dma_ops' undeclared (first use in this function)

You are so awesome, thank you so much for this! It compiled smoothly after making symlinks and editing those two header files!

I got to the point where I had that bug with nested includes on my own (by using symlinks like you), but I didn't have the courage to touch those header files as I thought there were probably more files that would have a nested mess.
