Hi,
I'm a linux newbie. I'm trying to compile and install a kinivo wireless USB adapter using the source code Kinivo provided for linux. This is on a Pogoplug installed with 3.1.10-13 Arch Linux.
The original file is a .bz2. I untar it and try to run the Make command in the untared folder. I get this:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '[')root@alarm 2011_0719_RT3070_RT3370_RT5370_RT5372_Linux_STA_V2.5.0.3_DPO]# make

[solved] install USB wireless adapter - "Make" command error

I'm not sure what Make is trying to do - is the /lib/modules/3.1.10-13-ARCH/build directory something that is standard and it expects to have? Or do I need to change my environment variable?
FYI background: before doing this, I had trouble running the Make command. "Command not found". Another forum post told me to install base-devel. I couldn't install base-devel because the directory to Make and gcc was all wrong (wrong URL)...so I ended up doing a pacman -Syyu. Then pacman -S base-devel worked. That's where I am at right now - Make command runs, but runs into an error.
I'm really new at this, thanks.

If you did afull upgrade then you should have kernel 3.1.10-16, not 13. Reboot, try again, read documentation. I bet it's not as simple as running "make". You likely need to run some scripts with certain options beforehand.

Oh, ok. I didn't actually look through the folder. Sorry, like I said, I'm new. The readme tells me to modify the Make files with some system dependent things like:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '
')define the GCC and LD of the target machine
define the compiler flags CFLAGS
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '
')define the GCC and LD of the target machine
define the compiler flags CFLAGS
I'll have to do some research, but thanks for pointing me to the right direction.
