Bad Return Status for Module Build

[Pajellen]

Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 4.4.1ph+ (x86_64) Consult /var/lib/dkms/ndiswrapper/1.59/build/make.log for more information.

I get this error each time I try to install the .deb packages for the kernel, running Linux Mint 17.3; If I try to boot it I get a black screen even If I select Recovery 4.4.1. Booting a generic 4.4.1 kernel works fine albeit without the specific Samus kernel improvements. I have tried rebuilding the git clone twice on two fresh installs and each time I get this same error on the same line during the dpkg install. Any ideas? Here is a full dump of the dpkg install output and I have attached the make.log listed in the error code as well. SAMUS KERNEL.txt

I have since moved on to GalliumOS and the build issue didn't show up, must be something with Linux Mint make module that caused the issue. I can move back to it if you want to troubleshoot more.

Thanks for the update, definitely looks like an issue with Mint, I guess Ubuntu fixed it: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ndiswrapper/+bug/1514243 (see the last comment in particular). Feel free to close this issue.
