R1Soft allows to build a Kernel module, without using a pre-built binary module.

Follow the instructions below to build a Kernel module.

1. Run the {color:#fd4703}*\#r1soft-setup{*}{color} command with the {color:#fd4703}*\--no-binary{*}{color} option:

{code}# r1soft-setup --no-binary{code}

2. Wait till the information gathered, found headers compressed and the module installed. You can see the following information in the shell:

{code}Gathering kernel information
