From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm still stuck I don't know what to do, I have done make, automake and cmake, what "make" does this thing need in order for it to work? It's so infuriating. (www.lb-link.cn)

Please just try what @gyrfalcon@beehaw.org suggested in their top comment in your other thread.

Just go to the WIFI-FE-2(Other Driver)/Linux Driver/DPA_MT7601U_LinuxSTA_3.0.0.3_20130313/ folder and type make. What happens?

The instructions you gave in your other thread are for a different driver.

This happens: $ sudo make install make: *** No rule to make target 'install'. Stop.

This is what the MakeFile contains:

all: make -C UTIL/ osutil $(SHELL) cp_util.sh make -C MODULE/ build_tools make -C MODULE/ osdrv $(SHELL) cp_module.sh make -C NETIF/ osnet

clean: make -C UTIL/ clean make -C MODULE/ clean make -C NETIF/ clean

install: make -C UTIL/ install make -C MODULE/ install make -C NETIF/ install

uninstall: make -C UTIL/ uninstall make -C MODULE/ uninstall make -C NETIF/ uninstall- -

Just type make. Why do you type make install? If you can't follow simple instructions, you won't be happy with Linux.

I already told you the error here.

This is the output for make install, or why is there an install keyword in the error?

The full command you posted is make -C /home/uname/Downloads/mt7603_v1.16/os/linux -f Makefile.6 install, which is something completely different to make without any parameters.

Just type make and nothing else.

Okay, that looks different. Does that folder in /opt exist at all?
