NI_USB_GPIB driver module issue on kernel 4.1.15

[malkowki_belgium]

 Hi ,

I am running :

Linux beagle07 4.1.15 #2 SMP Tue Mar 22 16:57:57 CET 2016 armv7l GNU/Linux
PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie)"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="8"
VERSION="8 (jessie)"
ID=debian

I  am trying to install the GPIB-USB-HS Dongle from National Instrument on my BeagleBoardxM and I am having issue while launching a make from linux-gpib.4.0.2
source file. the ./bootstrap and ./configure scrip worked well.
What I did also is to dowload the linux headers :

apt-get install linux-headers-4.1.15-armv7-x6

and my kernel has a build symbolicc link pointing to the modules as:

I use the same gcc as for compiling the kernel on target:

I have copied also the .config file from the kernel source from my debian machine.

Is anyone can help on this?

Thanks in advance,

Thanks William,
But this didn't help me a lot.

I have notice that the gcc --version on the board was 4.9 while the gcc used to compile the Kernel was 5.2, so I need to upadte the gcc in order to compile the module.
Do you know how to to this?

Thanks,

[malkowki_belgium]

Hello,

I just wanted to say that the problem iwas solved with the kernel 4.5.x using the gpib-linux 4.0.3..
Thanks!
