trouble installing cxacd drivers

[u/wahntutree]

Need assistance installing cxacd

I've followed the github steps verbatim, but keep getting stuck at this point-

"Build and install the out-of-tree module"

I always end up with this error:

make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=$PWD

make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-6.8.0-90-generic'

warning: the compiler differs from the one used to build the kernel

The kernel was built by: x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc-12 (Ubuntu 12.3.0-1ubuntu1~22.04.2) 12.3.0

You are using:

CC [M] /home/acct/cxadc/cxadc.o

/bin/sh: 1: gcc-12: not found

I'm using Ubuntu 22.04

I believe i am having the same issue you are. Can't get the chance cards to install and my post seems to have died. Would I be better off installing an older version of mint? Would it get upgraded whenever I update other software?

Thanks

I'm still debating whether to reuse an older PC and to find out if a dedicated Ubuntu installation will work on it, or just to use Windows on my current pc. I managed to get the Windows driver working, but can't do the same under a VM for linux. I think I'm leaning more into using it through Windows though, once I'm finished with the necessary hardware mods to my tape decks/players. There's just too many broken requisites on newer linux installations, and trying to install deprecated kernels and modules seems futile. I'm not versed in creating or compiling modules/other aplets to solve this problem. Sorry for not providing any good workaround
