*[HowToCrossBuildAnOfficialDebianKernelPackage](https://wiki.debian.org/HowToCrossBuildAnOfficialDebianKernelPackage)

According to upper debian official cross-kernel-package building instructions, some env variable are not exported in Radxa vendor kernel building instructions.

#3

I think you are building on ROCK Pi 4 or cross compiling?

#4

I am trying to install wireguard on ubuntu on RockPI-4B with linux-headers-4.4.154-72-rockchip-g6520deb provided in Radxa repo.

Although upper quick-fix works,
the linux-header package in repo should be fixed anyway.

This Helped, Thanx @trulyliu
The repo should be fixed though.

Since I used this fix a couple
of times, I had to fix the formatting of Discourse. Here it goes:

This is because the kernel package is cross-compiled on x86. We will fix this.

Hi,

I’m having issues installing wireguard on RockPI 4b, Ubuntu 20.04

I ran the script above, but the apt install wireguard-dkms is still failing with

Could you help solving this ?

Hi, @andrey_avtomonov

Before installing wireguard, you need to do some extra steps.

sudo su
apt-get install -y libssl-dev build-essential 
cd /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r)
make scripts

And then install wireguard.
