I’m having trouble at the command:
make -C /lib/modules/uname -r/build M=pwd
Others have been posting about problems with this too.
My question is, does uname mean username and pwd mean password? there is no uname file or directory obviously and I just would like an explanation of what the single quote sections of this command actually do or mean. Please let me know as I can’t go to the next step until I can do this.
One last thing. I am two days old in the linux world, so please try to help me by being very descriptive or “step” oriented. I have yet to learn the acronyms or the “obvious” stuff.
