Hi everybody:

 

I'm having problems to compile a custom user overlay on  ARMBIAN 5.38 stable Debian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch) 4.14.18-sunxi.

 

I tried to install linux-headers-dev-sun8i like said on https://www.armbian.com/kernel/, but i receive the folowwing error: Kernel headers are not installed properly. Please install the kernel headers package
 

so,  my one option is to install linux-headers-next-sunxi, but as i'm using the stable version the compiled custom user overlay only works if i switch to nigtghly automated builds using armbian-config tool.

 

all help will be welcome.

 

Regards,

 

Mauricio F.

If you are creating kernel on your own, two things matters for this case:

  • use branch NEXT (DEV is deprecated)
  • if you need headers within your image, build with INSTALL_HEADERS="yes"

If you only need to install headers, install them from armbian-config -> software -> headers
