Rtl8812au: Install on Raspbian

[veganinside]

Hi, seems that is not working the sudo make on raspbian, is only working for Arch?

[kimocoder]

Mainly for Kali, but should be working on other platforms.
which branch? which RPI board?

Got more hardware incoming (RPI's), so we'll fix it

Raspberry B+. Running raspbian little. So Kali would be fully working?

Is any branch working good on Raspbian? any similar experiences?
Thanks.

@veganinside Yes, master works on a Raspberry Pi 3B+, Raspbian 9.9 and kernel 4.19.42-v7+ for me with with the instructions at the README.md, plus a small tweak to dkms-install.sh:

diff --git a/dkms-install.sh b/dkms-install.sh
index 547a6f4..1af64d8 100755
--- a/dkms-install.sh
+++ b/dkms-install.sh

 cp -r ${DRV_DIR} /usr/src/${DRV_NAME}-${DRV_VERSION}

 dkms add -m ${DRV_NAME} -v ${DRV_VERSION}
-dkms build -m ${DRV_NAME} -v ${DRV_VERSION}
+ARCH=arm dkms build -m ${DRV_NAME} -v ${DRV_VERSION}
 dkms install -m ${DRV_NAME} -v ${DRV_VERSION}
 RESULT=$?

Otherwise the ARCH is set to armv7l if you enable CONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM_RPI (and no rules are found to build for this architecture) or ARCH is set to arm64 if you enable CONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM64_RPI and then:

I suspect this is happening because while the CPU is arm64, the system and gcc are not (Raspbian still didn't make images or packages, AFAIK).

@kimocoder maybe a note at the README.md file could help other users?

This issue has been resolved in the latest v5.6.4.2. Other branches will be left behind.
Anyhow, if the problem isn't resolved for somehow, or you got other issues, please re-open or create a new one for each specific. Thanks!
