You have the Linux kernel sources and all needed packages installed? That would all be in package build-essential ... you can't compile stuff without it. Other than that I am out of ideas at the moment. Was there a 'README' file or something? Can you post the URL where you got the driver from? Maybe there is more clues back there ...
