which kernel header version on RPi3?

[frogro]

Unfortunately i cannot install xbox360bb on Rpi3 with Raspian Jessie and kernel version 4.4.21-v7. I am not aware of the correct kernel-version. Maybe this can help to identify: sudo apt-cache search linux-headers ?
I have tried linux-headers-4.4.0-1-rpi, installation was ok, but building (make) and installing (make install) in /usr/src/xbox360bb is not possible. (missing targets and "make" not found)
It would be great if s.o. could help!

It sounds like you're missing some parts of the kernel build infrastructure. I don't have a RPi3, but RPi folks have some instructions here: https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/linux_kernel.html#kernel-headers

You'll also need to ensure that the version of headers matches the kernel, as it's likely that old versions of packages will get scrubbed. This may mean you have to do a kernel update on the Pi.

The annoying thing with Linux on embedded platforms like ARM, is that they have a different kernel for each piece of hardware. These are all done by different groups of people, who may all deviate slightly from "the Debian way", so it's hard to give a single set of instructions for every device.

I just installed this package on an rpi3B running "Raspberry Pi OS Lite".
I had to change the Makefile (Replace SUBDIR with M).

No other changes required, as it looks like all kernel headers are already packed with this OS.

ran jstest, and I have a working input. Thx!!!

I'm impressed to hear this still works after all these years.

I've updated the Makefile with your suggestion. Thanks!
