Virtual Serial Port Driver for Linux (VSPDL)

# first: set up kernel headers for building modules
yum install kernel-devel
# second: install VSPDL RPM
yum install ./vspd-<version>.rpm

# Linux kernel development headers are installed into
# /usr/src/kernels/<somedir>
# preapre path for VSPDL
cd /usr/src/; ln -s ./kernels/<dirname> ./linux-`uname -r`

# STEP 1.0: install default kernel and reboot
yast -i kernel-default
reboot
# STEP 1.1: set up kernel sources for external modules
yast -i kernel-source
yast -i kernel-syms
# STEP 1.2: prepare linux source tree
cd /usr/src/

# STEP 1.3: finilize
cd /usr/src/linux/
make oldconfig && make modules_prepare

# STEP 2.0 install VSPDL RPM (or tar if you wish)
yast -i ./vspd-<version>.rpm

# STEP 3.0 install VSPDL
cd /usr/local/vspd-<version>-dist
./install.sh /usr/local/vspd

# STEP 4.0 (optional)
depmod

# STEP 1.0
apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`
apt-get install gcc
apt-get install make

# STEP 2.0
unpack and install vspd-<version>.tar.gz

# STEP 3.0 (for 64bit only)
# for 64bit system you may need to install lib32stdc++6:
apt-get install lib32stdc++

# STEP 1.0 (optional, usually it's already installed in Debian)
apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`
apt-get install gcc
apt-get install make

# STEP 2.0
unpack and install vspd-<version>.tar.gz

# STEP 3.0 (for 64bit only)
# for 64bit system you may need to install lib32stdc++6:
apt-get install lib32stdc++

# Mandriva 2011 placed it's development-ready kernel source into /usr/src/devel/linux-`uname -r`
# prepare system
urpmi kernel-(yourkernelname)-devel
cd /usr/src/devel/`uname -r`/
make oldconfig && make modules_prepare
# So you need to set up a symbolic link before running install.sh:

ln -s /usr/src/devel/`uname -r` /usr/src/linux-`uname -r`

# prepare system
urpmi kernel-(yourkernelname)-devel
cd /usr/src/devel/`uname -r`/
make oldconfig && make modules_prepare
# you need to set up a symbolic link before running install.sh:
ln -s /usr/src/devel/`uname -r` /usr/src/linux-`uname -r`

# need to install CURRENT kernel headers first:
pacman -S linux-headers

# choose the version that is the same to your current kernel.
# for example, Manjaro 20.2 is running on kernel-5.9.xxx, so choose linux59-headers

# need gcc and make too...
pacman -S gcc
pacman -S make

# create the standard path to kernel headers
