Hi!

I've got a Conceptronic W-Lan card with an RT2500 chipset. I now try to compile the open source rt2500 driver on dsl 2.2, provided by serialmonkey. gcc1.dsl and gnu-utils.dsl are installed.

When I try to compile the module with "make" it gives the following error:

Makefile:146: /lib/modules/2.4.26/build/Rules.make: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target '/lib/modules/2.4.26/build/Rules.make. Stop

Does anybody know what the error message means? What should be in the directory .../build/...? Did I miss anything here?

Thanks in advance,

eraserhead

Have you run the Configure command at the Module directory before compiling?

You need the kernel source for whatever version of DSL you are building the module for. I had the same problem, if you look for the directory it's complaining about then you'll find it isn't there.
