Wireguard install / compile issue

[foureight84]

Looks like there are missing dependencies in the kernel headers? I am trying to install Wireguard and even tried compiling from source and I'm getting these errors:

"kernel package linux-headers-4.18.8 is not supported" this sounds like this kernel version in generel doesn't work with wireguard. Can you cross check with a mainline build?

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.18.8/

Maybe also this comment helps that wrote you need the full source in https://github.com/M-Bab/linux-kernel-amdgpu-binaries/issues/44

Simple fix sudo su cd /usr/src ; git clone https://github.com/M-Bab/linux-kernel-amdgpu.git # run the above script. done

@M-Bab I'm seeing the same behavior with r8168-dkms – it's not something specific to Wireguard, all DKMS-related packages will fail because Ubuntu kernel builds have different structure. While full source might help, it might be a bit overkill to clone the full repository.

[stuaxo]

Ah, dkms hasn't been working for me for a little while, might well be this :)

[M-Bab]

Yeah dkms and this special kernel never played nicely together and I wasn't able to fix that. Well but Wireguard is expected to enter the official kernel soon anyways.

[stuaxo]

My dkms issue is trying to use virtualbox and anbox, but it's the same sort of error.

[M-Bab]

Can you try again with the make build?

[stuaxo]

Tried building the kernel and installing, dkms rebuild seemed to fail with some different errors:

I tried wireguard installation with the new 5.0-rc4 kernel. Neither a problem with the Wireguard PPA and DKMS nor with building from source and installing.
