LED display driver build - openvfd

[KrzyPacu]

I'm trying to compile an LED display driver: https://github.com/arthur-liberman/linux_openvfd
I follow this description: https://github.com/bk3a12/openvfd_enable_for_tx3_mini
However, I can't build anything and the whole process ends with errors:

sh ./scripts/modules-check.sh /home/user/INSTALKI/linux_openvfd/driver/modules.order
make -f ./scripts/Makefile.modpost
make[3]: *** No rules to make an object '/home/user/INSTALKI/linux_openvfd/driver/modules.order', required by '/home/user/INSTALKI/linux_openvfd/driver/Module.symvers'. Stop.

 I've just been through this process myself. Those instructions are not close to working, and I'm not sure they ever worked. I have documented how I got the LCD display working on the T3-Mini here:
