Error when installing

[sandyandi]

Hi guys,

I got the following error when running make:

make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'Source/akvcam/src'.  Stop.

I already double checked I have dependencies (gcc, make and the appropriate linux-headers).

For reference, I'm running Pop!_OS 20.04 LTS with linux-headers-5.11.0-7614-generic.

I successfully installed it before my kernel got upgraded to 5.11 but it seems to fail now. Is kernel 5.11 not supported yet, or?

It is.
The error looks more like you are running make in a different directory, you must:

cd Source/akvcam/src
make

Look at the wiki

I ran make where the Makefile is located (akvcam/src). Below is the complete output:

make -C /usr/lib/modules/5.11.0-7620-generic/build M=<truncated for brevity>/akvcam/src  modules
make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-5.11.0-7620-generic'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'Source/akvcam/src'.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-5.11.0-7620-generic'
make: *** [Makefile:44: all] Error 2

I found the issue. It's a problem with directory containing space. I cloned akvcam in Projects/Open Source/akvcam and it's only reading the Source/akvcam. Notice it's missing "Open ".

I fixed it by removing the space between "Open" and "Source".
