Kernel headers not found in Fedora #55

Closed jbriales closed 4 years ago

jbriales commented 4 years ago

In some of my Fedora computers, when doing sudo dkms build hid-apple/1.0 I got an error like:

Error! echo Your kernel headers for kernel 5.2.11-200.fc30.x86_64 cannot be found at /lib/modules/5.2.11-200.fc30.x86_64/build or /lib/modules/5.2.11-200.fc30.x86_64/source.

Eventually I figured out the issue: You have to install the kernel-devel package for your specific kernel, like sudo dnf install kernel-devel-$(uname -r). However apparently not all kernel-devel versions are available through the package repository. So if you get an error like

No match for argument: kernel-devel-5.3.13-200.fc30.x86_64 Error: Unable to find a match: kernel-devel-5.3.13-200.fc30.x86_64

upon trying to install kernel-devel-$(uname -r) as above, download concrete kernel-devel package from web https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/kernel/ This can be done directly from URL, e.g. sudo dnf install https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/kernel/4.17.9/200.fc28/x86_64/kernel-devel-4.17.9-200.fc28.x86_64.rpm

Sharing here in case it helps someone else, as it took me a lot of attempts and reading to finally come into this really simple solution :)

Thank you for information. I will consider adding it to readme (description) during holidays.

The issue will be closed as it's not related to hid-apple itself, but will stay available for further comments and discussions if needed.
