Compiling for Raspberry Pi

Install kernel headers and other dependencies.

# sudo apt-get install linux-image-rpi-rpfv linux-headers-rpi-rpfv dkms build-essential bc

Append following at the end of your /boot/config.txt, reboot your Pi

kernel=vmlinuz-3.10-3-rpi
initramfs initrd.img-3.10-3-rpi followkernel

Edit Makefile and turn on CONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM_RPI, turn off CONFIG_PLATFORM_I386_PC

CONFIG_PLATFORM_I386_PC = n
CONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM_RPI = y

# cd /usr/src/rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux
# sudo make clean
# sudo make
# sudo make install
# sudo modprobe -a 8812au
