Raspberry Pi OS • Missing `build` folder in `/lib/modules` – can't compile kernel module on Raspberry Pi OS

$

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to compile a custom kernel module on Raspberry Pi OS, but I'm running into an issue: the `build` folder is missing in `/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/`.

Here’s a snippet from my `Makefile`:

Code:

KDIR = /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build

But when I check the path, I get:

Code:

ls /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build# No such file or directory

My current kernel version is:

Code:

uname -r# 6.6.51+rpt-rpi-v8

I tried installing the kernel headers using:

Code:

sudo apt install raspberrypi-kernel-headers
…but the `build` directory is still missing, or doesn't match my current kernel version.

**How can I get the correct kernel headers or the necessary `build` directory to compile my module?**
Do I need to switch to a specific kernel version that matches the available headers?

Any help is appreciated – thanks in advance!
