I'm on Fedora, and I had a lot better luck using DKMS instead of manually accessing Make myself. (Ubuntu has this, too.)

Try something like the following:

  1. sudo apt install dkms
  2. sudo git clone https://github.com/jlam55555/veikk-linux-driver.git /usr/src/input-veikk-git
  3. sudoedit /usr/src/input-veikk-git/dkms.conf
    • paste this in: 
      PACKAGE_NAME="input-veikk"
PACKAGE_VERSION="git"
BUILT_MODULE_NAME[0]="veikk"
DEST_MODULE_LOCATION[0]="/extra/"
AUTOINSTALL="yes"
  4. sudo dkms install input-veikk/git
  5. reboot

This worked for me, and unlike using make yourself, you don't have to re-do it every single kernel update.

(Also, don't run sudo make; that'll create a bunch of root-owned files in your home folder. If you're going to run make, run it as your user; save sudo for make install. But don't do that, either, if you're using dkms. In fact, you should run sudo make uninstall from within your current copy of the code, before setting up dkms.)

@JamesTheAwesomeDude following your instructions on fedora 33 I get the following console output:


Creating symlink /var/lib/dkms/input-veikk/git/source ->
                 /usr/src/input-veikk-git

DKMS: add completed.

and the following in make.log:

help would be greatly appreciated (using tablet VEIKK s640)

@SnoopTheDog Are you certain you've installed kernel-devel and since rebooted?

What is the output of the following?

find /usr/src -name autoconf.h -o -name auto.conf -exec rpm -qf {} \;

Output:

[snoopie@localhost Downloads]$ find /usr/src -name autoconf.h -o -name auto.conf -exec rpm -qf {} \;

kernel-devel-5.9.10-200.fc33.x86_64

Also output of dnf install kernel-devel

@SnoopTheDog You shouldn't hijack someone else issue, you aren't even on ubuntu.
Their issue is that they have a whitespace in their path.
