Make command

[anderssose]

Hey,

I'm a newbie to Linux. I've installed Mandrake and tries to get my wireless cisco adapter up and running but I'm having a problem when compiling the driverpackage.
I have unpacked the software package but when I try to compile it with the make command I receive an error saying : "bash: command not found". I wonder if someone here could give me a helping hand?
The software I'm using is called "Ndiswrapper".

Hi - Do you have Make installed? To check type:

man make

I haven't used Ndiswrapper. Are you sure you have to compile it from source?

You will also need the kernel headers, do you installed them?

install 'build-essential' package through Software Management. this package is available in Installation CD/DVD.

For your replies,

seems to be serious forum. I will install : build-essential' package and if there's any problem you will hear from me again.

Ok, so for so good. Installed the esential package. Now I can run the make command but it returns the following: Can't find kernel build files in /lib/modules/2.6.12-12mdk/build/;
give the path to kernel build directory with
kbuild=(path) argument to make

Seems like I have to make a link from the lernel source from the modules dir. How do I do that?

Found where from to install the kernel source files and that fixed it.
