Error during compilation under Truenas Scale 6.1.63-production+truenas

[mlsok]

I have a problem compiling the driver under the Truenas Scale (kernel 6.1.63-production+truenas). The error message is the following:

/var/lib/dkms/rtl8814au/5.8.5.1/build/os_dep/linux/os_intfs.c: In function 'rtw_ndev_destructor': /var/lib/dkms/rtl8814au/5.8.5.1/build/os_dep/linux/os_intfs.c:4208:19: error: 'struct net_device' has no member named 'ieee80211_ptr'; did you mean 'ieee802154_ptr'? 4208 | if (ndev->ieee80211_ptr) | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ieee802154_ptr In file included from /var/lib/dkms/rtl8814au/5.8.5.1/build/include/drv_types.h:27, from /var/lib/dkms/rtl8814au/5.8.5.1/build/os_dep/linux/os_intfs.c:17: /var/lib/dkms/rtl8814au/5.8.5.1/build/os_dep/linux/os_intfs.c:4209:39: error: 'struct net_device' has no member named 'ieee80211_ptr'; did you mean 'ieee802154_ptr'? 4209 | rtw_mfree((u8 *)ndev->ieee80211_ptr, sizeof(struct wireless_dev)); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~ /var/lib/dkms/rtl8814au/5.8.5.1/build/include/osdep_service.h:276:53: note: in definition of macro 'rtw_mfree' 276 | #define rtw_mfree(pbuf, sz) _rtw_mfree((pbuf), (sz)) | ^~~~ At top level: cc1: note: unrecognized command-line option '-Wno-enum-int-mismatch' may have been intended to silence earlier diagnostics make[2]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:250: /var/lib/dkms/rtl8814au/5.8.5.1/build/os_dep/linux/os_intfs.o] Error 1 make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... make[1]: *** [Makefile:2015: /var/lib/dkms/rtl8814au/5.8.5.1/build] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-6.1.63-production+truenas' make: *** [Makefile:2404: modules] Error 2

The error is not sensitive to the availability of the dkms framework.
Any suggestion is highly appreciated.

Hi @m1sl

I found the TrueNAS website. It says TrueNAS is based on Debian but does not say which version. I'm in the blind here.

The install-driver.sh script is designed to put a log on the screen as it runs. If you could run it and post what appears on the screen, that might help.

Hi @morrownr

I posted the part of this log where the script encountered an error. I apologize for its formatting, I tried to make it more readable, but unfortunately here in GitHub it looks like a total mess. Anyway here is the full log of the script itself which was displayed on the screen during its run:

Installation here was smooth. My best guess is that the problem is something the TrueNAS devs have done. I don't have time to install and learn TrueNAS right now so you might want to take this issue to the TrueNAS forums to see if anyone has any ideas over there.

I have a problem compiling the driver under the Truenas Scale (kernel 6.1.63-production+truenas). The error message is the following:

Please, check your package and software dependencies! BR

Please, check your package and software dependencies! BR

All dependencies are met! Except for the kernel headers. I found 3 different types in my system. One of them is without the suffix "production+truenas". The wifi module can be compiled against it, but obviously, it can not be used by the system which is using one of the headers marked by "production+truenas". So the problem is in the headers developed for the TrueNAS. Unfortunately, I was not able to find support on the TrueNAS forum. There was one interesting advice to use a wifi bridge, but in the end, I ran a cable to my router and unplugged the WiFi card :)

Good work, I will see about that. BR
