Your screen output doesn't seem to show a complaint about being unable to resolve a symlink. The line "No rule to make target 'modules'" means that target can't be found in a Makefile. The kernel Makefile has "modules:" as a target.

Have you installed a kernel header package? Alternatively, have you installed a kernel source tree?

Have you done a "make prepare"?

Check the Makefile to see if there's a place to set that path so it corresponds to your own setup.

All that is in the dir is directories. No files.

This is what's in the script.

/home/parazyd/arm-sdk/

You might like to know that parazyd builds all of the arm stuff.

More of the same issue.

You can see the problem. I just don't know how to fix it. Well I do, but I have no idea where to get the correct file(s).

There is a Linux kernel driver for the Realtek RTL8812AU USB device which you can pull from Github here and compile.

I am attempting to build a driver for the 8812 USB wifi device.

Can anyone help with a quick how-to?

I found this link for the Raspberry Pi, but that does not work with Devuan for obvious reasons.

One of the reasons is /lib/modules/build. It is a sym linked to /home/paralyzd/arm-sdk....

This is for the Raspberry Pi 2 (32 bit) Jessie release.
