Make Install error with Ndiswrapper

[Andorin]

Hi,
I'm trying to setup ndiswrapper on my new install of Mandrake 10.1. I'm not familiar at all with linux or its shell and so don't really know how to get around an error thats being thrown up when I try to make ndiswrapper.

The install guide says to go into the directory its in and type in "make" then "make INSTALL". I get the same error for both, the error is:

make -c driver
make[1] Entering directory 'path'
Can't find kernal source in /lib/modules/2.6.8.1-12mdk/build; give the path to kernal sources with KSRC=<path> argument to make
Make[1] ***[Prereq-check] Error 1

Anyone able to tell me what that means?

All I can seem to work out is that it doesn't like the kernal i'm running on... is that supposed to suggest it can't find some classes to include?

It just means that you should have the kernel sources installed in /usr/src/, You should be running the same kernel that you compile nidswrapper against, so after grabbing the kernel sources, you should compile the new kernel, install, and reboot with the new kernel, then try "make"ing ndiswrapper again.

You've lost me. What'd you just say? Can I point out the "n00b" word here - sorry to be slow, but I really don't understand.

How can I be compiling it against a differant kernal to the one I'm running in?
How do I grab sources?
Once I've grabbed the sources do I use the make command on them then??

If you haven't mucked with your urpmi sources, try this:

urpmi kernel-source

then, run make again.
