Build Rasplex from sources to include own WiFi drivers

Dev Community Apps & Creations
1

Hi, is it possible to build Rasplex from sources and include a local driver source while building it in it? I have Xiaomi Mini USB WiFi dongle, which is not directly supported by the Pi, but has drivers source which can be used to build drivers, but since the Rasplex is based on OpenELEC, I cannot build the driver on it. So I would like to know if it is possible to do so directly while building. Also, please don't suggest Me to buy a new dongle, as they are hard to get where I live.

Please do not double post, there is already a topic for this which you started https://forums.plex.tv/topic/165005-build-on-driver-for-wifi-dongle-on-rasplex/#entry943741

Please check, the thread You quoted although created by Me asks if I can somehow build driver on already available Rasplex OS. Given from the replies, it was clear that it is not possible. This thread is aimed to inquire if I can build Rasplex from sources and modify it while building it, and not the driver only.

Hi, I thanks for the link! Don't why I couldn't find it!

Also, I'm trying to build now, but I get this error. I tried searching it, but no solution seems to come up! I tried searching the file too, but I don't know how to load it manually even if I find it!

Following is the output of build:

Bump?

What's so complicated, your network connection was down it seems...

Actually, I see now your problem. Simply search the file on openelec.tv or somewhere else, and change the download location. Or download into sources/PKG and add file.md5 files.
