Linux Header On Kernel/ Compiling kernel

Hello, I was trying to do pentesting on my device through kali linux 2.0. I successfully installed kali linux via linix deploy ,but i was unable to use reaver as my chipset doesn't support monitor mode. So I tried to use external usb wifi adapter( tplink tl wn 722n, chipset atheros ar9271). I tried to install driver myself but when i gave make command i found this error:
make defconfig-ath9k
root@localhost:/usr/src/backports-3.15-rc1-1# make defconfig-ath9k
/--------------
| Your kernel headers are incomplete/not installed.
| Please install kernel headers, including a .config
| file or use the KLIB/KLIB_BUILD make variables to
| set the kernel to build against, e.g.
| make KLIB=/lib/modules/3.1.7/ | to compile/install for the installed kernel 3.1.7
| (that isn't currently running.) \--
Makefile:40: recipe for target 'defconfig-ath9k' failed make: *** [defconfig-ath9k] Error 1
CAN ANYONE HELP ME HOW TO OVERCOME THIS? HOW TO COMPILE KERNEL IN THIS SPECIFIC CASE ?Or HOW TO ENABLE MONITOR MODE WITH AR9271 CHIPSET?
MY KERNEL IS 3.10.54+

Compiling Kernel

I tried to compile kernel from official CM github, but I end up with this errors:

Code:

---

make[1]: Nothing to be done for 'dtbs'.

Anyone can help me fix this error?

Million Thanks :)

Cannot flash system after compiling it from source

Hello
I compiled android for Volantis ( after downloading the sources from official google repo )
when trying to flash it i have this message
i added the "-S 256M" after finding it online , it didn't work without it too , i think that it doesn't flash the whole image since the image size is 1.5G .
I successfully flash the stock image though .

Code:

---

fastboot flash -S 256M system system.img

---

gives this output :

Code:

---

[PROBLEM] Compiling Omni from source fails

Hi,

I was trying to compile Omni 6.0.1 from source for a Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime [ gprimeltevl ], and the process was halting when validatekeymaps was about to be built.
I wanted to post this in Miscellaneous Android Development section but I'm still new so i couldn't.

Here is the console output of make:

I'm still a bit new to Android development; this is my first foray into ROM building, though I am experienced in C and am familiar with Java, C++ though I'm not that good with Makefiles. I've been stuck at this point for days, any sort of help would be appreciated at all. Thanks.
