Errors during installation of RTL8188EU driver

Post by artall »

I'm trying to install RTL8188EU driver from https://github.com/mfruba/kernel according to the installation instructions on that site but facing with different kinds of errors.
Installation

1.Download the code (clone it or download a zipped version)
2.Move to directory: $ cd drivers/TL-WN722N_v2.0-Ralink/rtl8188EUS_linux_v4.3.0.8_13968.20150417
3.Build the driver by running: $ make
4.Install it: # make install
5.Load dependent modules:

# modprobe lib80211
# modprobe cfg80211

Insert the module into the Linux kernel: # insmod 8188eu.ko

I downloaded the driver using command

Code: Select all

git clone https://github.com/mfruba/kernel.git
Next I entered

Code: Select all

cd kernel/drivers/TL-WN722N_v2.0-Ralink/rtl8188EUS_linux_v4.3.0.8_13968.20150417
Then the next command

Code: Select all

make
And got errors

Code: Select all

make
