On OSMC

[MrMjolnir]

Hi fastoe,

Just a comment: maybe you can add on the readme that it also works perfectly on OSMC.
The only change is how to install the headers:
apt-cache search osmc | grep headers
gives you the exact version of headers to install, in my case rbp2-headers-5.10.78-2-osmc

Thank you!

Currently trying to compile and install this driver on a RPI4 running OSMC ...

In my case i guess i need to use the rbp464-headers-5.10.78-5-osmc

But make fail with this error :

make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE= -C /lib/modules/5.10.78-5-osmc/build M=/usr/src/RTL8812BU_for_Raspbian  modules

Tried to compile using rbp2-headers-5.10.78-5-osmc.
It went fine but obviously (for me) the driver will not install

 sudo modprobe 88x2bu
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert '88x2bu': Exec format error

If someone could help me with this it will be really great !

Hi @Stephane-Peel,

I have the same problem with different wifi drivers: morrownr/8814au#72

Really the same error output - asm/bitsperlong.h - no such file or directory.

I thought, that rbp2-headers will be solution, but the same problem with inserting compiled module.

But it looks like, that is possible to compile drivers on Raspberry debian distributions - you can see list of tested distribution: https://github.com/morrownr/8812au-20210629

So I think, there is something different on OSMC. I'm trying to investigate what is different and why we can not compile drivers.
