Hello and welcome on the openSUSE forums.

While this is not a direct answer to your question, just a few remarks.

We have a difficult to find, but important feature on the forums.

Please in the future use CODE tags around copied/pasted computer text in a post. It is the # button in the tool bar of the post editor. When applicable copy/paste complete, that is including the prompt, the command, the output and the next prompt.

Second, you run make as root. That is normally not needed because running compilers and the like can be done by anyone. And when something is not needed to be done as superuser, it should not be done as superuser.
Only installation of a product in it’s places in the system directories requires root access.

And it would also help if you explained what you are actually trying to do… :wink:

It seems you are trying to compile some kernel module.
But which one, and why?
Maybe it’s not even necessary.

Also, do you have kernel-devel and kernel-default-devel installed?

4

Your makefile is faulty.
Where did you get it from? Did you build it yourself or is it from a project’s source?

TSU

Also,
You don’t need to build comm, it’s already installed and is a part of the core-utils package.

eg

comm --help

TSU

Hi
Your going to break your system running the above command, where where you when running this?

Nothing needs to be built as root user, only installing…

Take a step back and tell everyone the exact network card your trying to get working, provide output from;


/sbin/lspci -nnk | egrep -A3 "Ethernet|Network"

Also, provide the link to where you downloaded the driver from as well.

11

Sorry, but that doesn’t really tell much more.

What is your “network cart”?

Is it not rather a “network card”? And if yes, which one?
/sbin/lspci or lsusb (depending on how you connect it) would provide more information then that would make it easier to help.

Where did you get the source code from that you want to build?

hi


/sbin/lspci -nnk | egrep -A3 "Ethernet|Network"

output :

hi my network cart is
TL-WN725N V2
lsusb output is :


err0r1096@linux-w2ky:~> lsusb

Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0c45:651b Microdia

so Realtek Semiconductor Corp.

Hi
So it uses the r8188eu driver in staging;
https://wikidevi.com/wiki/TP-LINK_TL-WN725N_v2

See this: https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8188eu

Our forum member lwfinger is the kernel developer for the driver.

See the readme (esp firmware location) and if you clone the repo with git (as your user NOT root) and build in your ~/

hi i try to install it but i get this errors :

I CANT use make command its Give error on everything

16

Any help ?

17

Install kernel-devel​

That being said, 8188eu is included with the 42.2 or 42.3 kernel as a staging module and should work if you have the** kernel-firmware** package installed.

18

Hello friend I’m sure I have kernel-firmware install

19

But stell is not working

I have kernel-firmware install
