Can't use MAKE command driver for installation

Trying to install wifi driver (Realtek RTL8852) from Github for Lenovo Thinkpad E16.  I'm running Daedalus 5.0.1 amd64 XFCE.  I am stuck at MAKE command getting the following errors.  Not sure how to proceed.

Re: Can't use MAKE command driver for installation

The answer is right there, in gigantic font, at the top of the README for the (archived) github repository you are cloning:

KERNEL > 6.0.0 NOT LONGER MAINTAIN
For kernel > 6.0.0, You should view https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89

The module you are trying to compile references functions that no longer exist (at least under those names) in your installed (6.1.0) kernel. Either fix it yourself (out of scope here) or use a codebase that is maintained for current kernels.

Re: Can't use MAKE command driver for installation

I blacklisted the driver per the driver given via lshw -C network: r8169.  There was no blacklist.conf file so I created one by making a txt file, adding the only line 'blacklist r8169' and saving it as blacklist-r8169.conf in the modprobe.d folder. 

I then resumed once again MAKE, errors remain, albeit shorter.  Unable to execute MAKE INSTALL.  No useful results on search engine for the errors given "linux rtl driver pci_dma_sync_single_for_device" or "linux rtl driver. 

Any suggestions?

Do I need to make blacklist-r8169.conf executable? I see blacklist hash error at boot, however, search engine stated it was normal for disabled secure boot.  Do I need to get A.I. involved in this? 

If we work together, I think we can resolve the issue.

-Combo

P.S. I hope some humor is agreeable.

Re: Can't use MAKE command driver for installation

Any suggestions?

Yes firstly stop trying to compile as root do the ./configure, and ./make steps as a normal user then when needing to install the module use sudo make install this is the only step that requires the root user to get done. And I see nothing about the ./configure step being done. Lastly where does this crazy line come from make ARCH=x86_64 CROSS_COMPILE= -C /lib/modules/6.1.0-35-amd64/build. You are already on the x86_64 arch with the kernel headers installed and since it is the same arch you are not cross-compiling, try make instead. Start with newly extracted source for the proper driver as pointed out above the source you try to use is out of date according to the posting by steve_v. You want the linked rtw_89 and you just might have chance of having some success in getting it done.

Re: Can't use MAKE command driver for installation

I blacklisted the driver

You haven't compiled the replacement driver successfully yet, so blacklisting the in-kernel one is completely irrelevant at this point.

I then resumed once again MAKE

Without addressing (or even reading it seems) what I posted above, so...

errors remain

Of course they do.

No useful results on search engine for the errors given

I just told you what the compiler errors mean, a search engine won't tell you anything different - even of it has indexed that exact line, which it probably hasn't.

Do I need to get A.I. involved

Nor will an Artificial Idiot.

Any suggestions?

Already provided: Get a driver that is maintained and compatible with your kernel version... Or learn enough C and kernel programming to find and fix all the deprecated function calls in the broken one you seem determined to use.
One of these is easy, the other is hard. Your choice.

Do I need to make blacklist-r8169.conf executable?

Uhh, whut? Why would that matter, it's a configuration file for modprobe. Try 'man modprobe' and 'man modprobe.d' instead of flailing randomly.

If we work together, I think we can resolve the issue.

If you read the README in that github repo and followed the link, I expect you would have resolved this already by yourself.
The maintained driver repo even includes DKMS packaging instructions, which I suggest you follow so you get a .deb package and automatic rebuilds on kernel changes.

./configure, and ./make steps

Autoconf 'configure' scripts are stored in the source directory, but 'make' is a binary in system path. So './configure [--option]' and 'make [target]'.
In this case however...

I see nothing about the ./configure step being done.

The source in question does some (sort of) autoconf from the makefile (and a bunch of other crazy besides), there is no configure script.

where does this crazy line come from... try make instead

They did. Read the makefile.

Re: Can't use MAKE command driver for installation

since the OP seems unable to use simple code tags perhaps we might hypothesize we are interacting with ai/llm? how would we know? could we? really?

don't get me wrong, i understand. a dear one has dementia and no longer knows who they are/was/were. it is hard to relate unless/until it is personally experienced and so one must seek out others who have both experienced it and are willing to share and talk about it as well. life is short, love them long.

Re: Can't use MAKE command driver for installation

Sure reads like one, and I was gunna say it... But benefit of the doubt and all that. They could also just be a noob, copy-pasting the usual outdated blog-post garbage.

Then again, the Large-Regurgitation-Model hypothesis would neatly explain things like missing the "No longer maintained for kernel > 6.0.0" bit (it's an image, not plaintext), and the inane "Okay, great!  Thanks for next step!" reply (while clearly not understanding the advice)...

Re: Can't use MAKE command driver for installation

@comborico1611

You have used the inline code tag ("c" with square brackets) whereas you should have used the large code block tag ("code" with square brackets) for that lengthy piece of code. It's a simple matter to fix.

Re: Can't use MAKE command driver for installation

They did. Read the makefile.

I will help with generic advice on compiling and on the odd occasion will read and build the driver on a system, this is not one of them times. Most times though I will not install dev tools just to do that. The OP has enough problems following advice given, my effort level in that case is not that high to go that extra mile.

With the result being the bottom of the snipped output with some stupid foolishness about not being able to find vmlinuz which is clearly there. Who knows if the the make install would work I am not interested in seeing if that step works. But if the OP will actually listen to advice given he can try and and find out.

Re: Can't use MAKE command driver for installation

due to unavailability of vmlinux

Who's asking it to look for vmlinux? I cloned the git repo and grepped for vmlinux and vmlinuz and got nothing.

Re: Can't use MAKE command driver for installation

I have no clue nor the interest to search the source to find out why the stupid things "Skipping BTF generation" step is looking for vmlinux now I notice instead of the vmlinuz that is there when the auto-complete gave it to me on my Debian system when I was wondering it was not finding what I knew had to be there to boot.. I went systemd free with after seeing how easy it is to do on a Devuan conversion.

You may also want to apt update then apt upgrade. It appears your kernel is two versions (-35 vs -37) behind the present released version by Debian which Devuan follows very closely. Most times on my main Devuan machine I will get the new kernel before it hits the Debian archives for those other machines I have running Debian systemd free.
