Can't compile driver

[stefanlk]

when compiling on my Raspi I got following messages:

dkms install rtl8192eu/1.0

Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel. Skipping...

whats the problem? why does the make says architect armv7l? Shall it be arm?

I believe you will need to edit the platform configuration in the Makefile.

Open the Makefile and change CONFIG_PLATFORM_I386_PC to n and change CONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM_RPI to y. And just to be sure, run make clean after changing those options (although this probably isn't necessary).

If the rpi is running 64bit use aarch64, its not called rpi but thats just naming. RPI defaults to 32bit i think (kernel 6.1.21-b8+ - rpi3b+) CONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM_RPI = n CONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM_AARCH64 = y
