DKMS build error

[tflori]

I'm running Manjaro Linux. Till I found this project I used my modifications with kernel 4.4 (you can find the sources here: https://github.com/tflori/RR268x) - I had the same problem. Outdated driver and no support from HighPoint. But I did not want to modify the sources again and again.

Your modifications are much clearer and the most important thing: they work with the current lts kernel. Many thanks for this work!

My problem is: I don't want to disable updates for the kernel and I don't want to build this manually again and again. So I decided to create a dkms config for it:

ACKAGE_NAME=rr2680
PACKAGE_VERSION=2.1

DEST_MODULE_LOCATION=/extra
BUILD_MODULE_NAME=rr2680
BUILD_MODULE_LOCATION=product/rr2680/linux/

MAKE="'make' -C product/rr2680/linux/"
CLEAN="rm -r product/rr2680/linux/rr2680.ko product/rr2680/linux/build"
AUTOINSTALL="yes"

But when I run dkms build I get the following output:

Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel.  Skipping...

Building module:
cleaning build area...(bad exit status: 1)
'make' -C product/rr2680/linux/....
Error!  Build of rr2680.ko failed for: 4.9.24-1-MANJARO (x86_64)
Consult the make.log in the build directory
/var/lib/dkms/rr2680/2.1/build/ for more information.

In the mentioned log there is no error and when I build it manually the exit code is 0. I don't know much about kernel module development and nothing about dkms (just read the ubuntu wiki). Do you see the problem in my configuration? Do you need more information from me?

Before you ask - this is the log file mentioned:

I think I found a solution - the rr2680.ko file has to be in the base directory.

This is my current dkms.conf

PACKAGE_NAME=rr2680
PACKAGE_VERSION=2.1

DEST_MODULE_LOCATION=/extra
BUILD_MODULE_NAME=rr2680
BUILD_MODULE_LOCATION=product/rr2680/linux/

MAKE="'make' -C product/rr2680/linux/ && cp product/rr2680/linux/rr2680.ko rr2680.ko"
CLEAN="rm -r product/rr2680/linux/rr2680.ko product/rr2680/linux/.build rr2680.ko"
AUTOINSTALL="yes"

Do you know a clearer way for it?

I know nothing about DKMS, but I'll be happy to look into it more when I get a chance :)
