make error

[dbrianhendrix]

I'm getting the same error as "make error on Rocky Linux #17". I'm not using Rocky but almost the same. I'm using Almalinux.

/home/brian/rtl8723du/os_dep/linux/os_intfs.c:1855:22: error: initialization of ‘u16 ()(struct net_device , struct sk_buff , struct net_device , u16 ()(struct net_device , struct sk_buff , struct net_device ))’ {aka ‘short unsigned int ()(struct net_device , struct sk_buff , struct net_device , short unsigned int ()(struct net_device , struct sk_buff , struct net_device ))’} from incompatible pointer type ‘u16 ()(struct net_device , struct sk_buff , void , u16 ()(struct net_device , struct sk_buff , struct net_device ))’ {aka ‘short unsigned int ()(struct net_device , struct sk_buff , void , short unsigned int ()(struct net_device , struct sk_buff , struct net_device ))’} [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types] .ndo_select_queue = rtw_select_queue, ^~~~ /home/brian/rtl8723du/os_dep/linux/os_intfs.c:1855:22: note: (near initialization for ‘rtw_netdev_ops.ndo_select_queue’) cc1: some warnings being treated as errors make[2]: [scripts/Makefile.build:316: /home/brian/rtl8723du/os_dep/linux/os_intfs.o] Error 1 make[1]: [Makefile:1577: module/home/brian/rtl8723du] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/kernels/4.18.0-372.26.1.el8_6.x86_64' make: *** [Makefile:2466: modules] Error 2

As far as I can tell, your distro has backported some changes. As such, I cannot support your installation.

I think commenting out or deleting the line at 1721 should fix it, but if I did that, it would break every user of kernels between 3.14 and 5.1.

[dbrianhendrix]

Not sure what line you actually mean -- line 1721 of: /usr/src/kernels/4.18.0-372.26.1.el8_6.x86_64/include/linux/netdevice.h is a commented section:

1718 struct net_device_extended_rh { 1719 }; 1720 1721 /* 1722 struct net_device - The DEVICE structure. 1723 1724 Actually, this whole structure is a big mistake. It mixes I/O 1725 data with strictly "high-level" data, and it has to know about 1726 almost every data structure used in the INET module.

[lwfinger]

The error was in os_dep/linux/os_intfs.c. That is where the offending line is located.

In file /usr/src/kernels/4.18.0-372.26.1.el8_6.x86_64/include/linux/netdevice.h, find the section that looks like

• u16 (ndo_select_queue)(struct net_device dev, struct sk_buff *skb,
  • struct net_device *sb_dev);

and post your result here. The above is from kernel 6.0.0, and yours will be different._

[dbrianhendrix]

The section was quite big (I think) so I just uploaded the file. It's attached. netdevice.h.txt

[lwfinger]

All I needed was the "ndo_select_queue" section. In any case make the secion of os_dep/linux/os_intfs.c look like this:

static u16 rtw_select_queue(struct net_device dev, struct sk_buff skb , struct net_device *sb_dev , select_queue_fallback_t fallback) {

I am sorry, but I have bad news for you. I have a number of projects going at the moment, and I have given as much time as I can for your problems. You have two options: 1. Figure out how to fix the build problems with kernel 4.18, or 2. switch to another PI distro with a kernel v5.4 or later. The reason that I support 5.4 and newer is that was a period of rapid changes in the kernel networking software, which caused many changes in the drivers. I find that it takes too much time to backport beyond that version.

Sorry again.

Good news!

I installed 5.4.215-1.el8.elrepo.x86_64 to the Almalinix 8.6 successfully and make / make install worked on the first try! Rebooted and I'm now on wireless!

Thanks for your assistance!

I did a push that I did not intend to do.

Do another 'git pull' and it should work.

[dbrianhendrix]

I don't think I need to do another pull, do I? As I mentioned above, I'm now working with an upgrade to 5.4.215-1.el8.elrepo.x86_64 kernel on Almalinix 8.6. The make and make install worked without error, and reboot showed wireless device and I connected!
