Errors on Raspberri Pi

Open drumminhands opened this issue 12 years ago • 8 comments

Hello. I'm trying to use your fix on a Raspberry Pi running Raspbian “wheezy” but I keep getting a lot of errors related to file or folder does not exist. Can you help out a newbie to linux?

It failed on the compile so it didn't produce the hid-atari-retrobit module. I don't know Rasbian/debian but I imagine there are kernel source packages that must be installed first. I'd suggest googling for linux kernel modules on Rasbian and see if there are any howtos. If you find out anything, I'd be happy to update the README with instructions for the Raspberry Pi.

Thank you. I'm researching things on my end. When I have more news I'll post back here. Just so I know, what version of Linux are you using? It might help me find what I'm missing.

Thanks.

I've been exploring some more, but I'm still stuck. Perhaps you might know what I'm doing wrong. Please look at this forum post: http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=78&t=36564&p=311332#p311332

I'm running arch linux, and am receiving a similar error:

~/bin/hid-atari-retrobit♠ make
make -C /lib/modules/3.13.5-1-ARCH/build M=/home/seppi/bin/hid-atari-retrobit modules
make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/lib/modules/3.13.5-1-ARCH/build'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'modules'.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/lib/modules/3.13.5-1-ARCH/build'
Makefile:25: recipe for target 'default' failed
make: *** [default] Error 2

I realize this ticket is very old, but would appreciate some help anyway, as I would very much like to get my device to work!

The only thing I can figure out is that something changed in the kernel related to module building between the time I wrote the code and now. This was my first attempt at a kernel module and I've learned how steep the learning curve really is. I haven't been able to figure it out, and all the frustrations have killed my motivation.

Ah! Would this be a good question for a #linux irc channel? I can ask around.

@josefnpat It seams that @robmcmullen doesn't maintain this driver anymore. I forked this project and made some improvements on https://github.com/retuxx/hid-retrobit. Maybe I can help you.
