Error compiling GobiSerial in Linux raspberrypi 4.9.59-v7+

[suarezjm]

I'm trying to compile GobiSerial on a kernel version:
Linux raspberrypi 4.9.59-v7+

The system is getting this error.. could you please give me some help to continue?
thanks in advance

pi@raspberrypi:~/PiAnywhere_install/gobiserial/GobiSerial $ sudo dkms build -m GobiSerial -v 2011-07-29-1026

Hi,

sorry for the late response, neither @casastorta nor me have any GobiSerial hardware anymore. I've commited 627ce97, which I'm hoping will fix your problem. Give it a go, if you can find the time, and see if it helps.

Hope you're having a nice day! :)
