    You only need make and gcc. If you are using Ubuntu or Linux Mint you can try:

    sudo apt update
    sudo apt install make build-essential
    make
    sudo make install
    

    You have to perform the last two commands in the directory where the file called Makefile is.

        gcc will get installed as part of the build-essential package that @ksynwa@lemmy.ml listed. And gcc should get called automatically by the make-command.
        So, you actually don’t have to do a manual step to put gcc somewhere.

        Did you run those commands? Did it work?

          I tried doing make it gives me an error. Also (if you have downloaded the file checked it out), if I do “sudo make install” even with the GCC compiler installed, it still does not work.

            why don’t you show or tell what this error is? people cannot telepathically know what is going wrong there.

    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.
