gcc will get installed as part of the build-essential package that @ksynwa@lemmy.ml listed. And gcc should get called automatically by the make-command.
So, you actually don’t have to do a manual step to put gcc somewhere.
I tried doing make it gives me an error. Also (if you have downloaded the file checked it out), if I do “sudo make install” even with the GCC compiler installed, it still does not work.
You only need make and gcc. If you are using Ubuntu or Linux Mint you can try:
sudo apt update sudo apt install make build-essential make sudo make installYou have to perform the last two commands in the directory where the file called
Makefileis.where do i put gcc?

why don’t you show or tell what this error is? people cannot telepathically know what is going wrong there.

this looks like a completely different driver than the one you posted in your top comment. In which folder did you run this?
Is this for
makeormake install?also i found this while trying to figure out what i had to do, it’s a portion of it: https://pastebin.com/arbeKVvr
Are you sure your adapter does not work out of the box? Ubuntu seems to have the driver for it already at:
/usr/lib/firmware/mt7601u.binMaybe you can try
sudo modprobe mt7601uand see if that makes it work.
