"No rule to make target modules"

[NobodyAnswered]

Hi! I got this message with make && make dkms: make && make dkms make ARCH=x86_64 CROSS_COMPILE= -C /lib/modules/5.7.0-kali1-amd64/build M=/home/linux/rtl8812au modules make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/lib/modules/5.7.0-kali1-amd64/build' make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'modules'. Stop. make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/lib/modules/5.7.0-kali1-amd64/build' make: *** [Makefile:2246: modules] Error 2

With the make dkms_install method I got this error: sudo make dkms_install mkdir -p /usr/src/8812au-5.6.4.2_35491.20191025 cp -r * /usr/src/8812au-5.6.4.2_35491.20191025 dkms add -m 8812au -v 5.6.4.2_35491.20191025 Error! DKMS tree already contains: 8812au-5.6.4.2_35491.20191025 You cannot add the same module/version combo more than once. make: *** [Makefile:2305: dkms_install] Error 3 If I understand correctly, the second complaint is that I already have the driver, but I don't....

Could someone help me out here? I would appreciate the help.

Thank you in advance!

I have the same error on Debian Testing (5.8.0-2) . I am normally able to compile Gordboy's driver version.

Remove it from DKMS tree with sudo dkms remove 8812au/5.6.4.2_35491.20191025 --all.
