FIXED: Cubox 8812au wifi for 4.9.x kernel - won't compile

Gymnae · March 4, 2017

Hi everyone,

since upgrading to the new stable build DKMS refuses to compile any driver package for the 8812au Wifi chip I could find on github:

make ARCH= CROSS_COMPILE= -C  M=/root/rtl8812AU  modules
make[1]: *** M=/root/rtl8812AU: No such file or directory.  Stop.
Makefile:1576: recipe for target 'modules' failed
make: *** [modules] Error 2

I did change the makefile to reflect compiling for ARM. This procedure worked on the old stable kernel. Is there a way to modify the Makefile or kernel sources to accept the new kernel...or is something borked with my system? The error message does not point me to a direction to check for a fix.

Cheers

FIX: I think I found a fix in editing the makefile, created a pullrequest with a more famous rtl8812au repo:
