8 years ago Just create the directory manually for the time being.
$ sudo mkdir -p /etc/Wireless/RT2870STA
Seems the Makefile is missing "-p"

8 years ago There should be a file Makefile in your folder /lib/modules/4.1.17-v7+/build. (And the Makefile should contain target 'modules'.) What is the content of the folder /lib/modules/4.1.17-v7+/build ?

8 years ago Let me rephrase the questions, how did you create the folder /lib/modules/4.1.17-v7+/build? It should be done by $ sudo apt-get install kernel-headers-$(uname -r) Are you building the driver on RaspberryPi or are you cross-compling?

8 years ago HI, there was no /build folder in /lib/modules/4.1.17-v7 so i figured I'd see what happened if i created it by sudo su and mkdir, I had previously tried to run the command
sudo apt-get install kernel-headers-$(uname -r)
as you mentioned earlier, as well as
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
and they both return the same error...

8 years ago The driver will not build without the kernel headers. You need to figure out how to install them on pi. Seems like Raspbian does not provide them for whatever reason.

7 years ago Hello both, I'm not sure if i'm allowed to add to this post (almost a year old) but i could do with some guidance if you wouldnt mind please. I am stuck with not being able to "make". I have installed headers and just checked my build folder but there is no makefile file.
Current errors:
