i have a custom kernel build directory (for security reason), and using KERNEL_DIR refer to it, eg. KERNEL_DIR=/path/to/kernel_build it's works fine for nvidia-drivers, but when i trying to install v4l2loopback, it just doesn't work. the Makefile in the package: ``` KERNELRELEASE ?= `uname -r` KERNEL_DIR ?= /lib/modules/$(KERNELRELEASE)/build all: v4l2loopback.ko v4l2loopback: v4l2loopback.ko v4l2loopback.ko: @echo "Building v4l2-loopback driver..." $(MAKE) -C $(KERNEL_DIR) M=$(PWD) modules ``` here is the build.log i got: ``` * v4l2loopback-0.12.5.tar.gz BLAKE2B SHA512 size ;-) ...
