can't build the kernel - Remix OS for PC

I have been trying to compile the remix OS kernel, downloaded from their github repo
Code:
CHECK usr/include/linux/wimax/ (1 files)
CHECK usr/include/linux/ (411 files)
./usr/include/linux/if_pppox.h:26: included file 'linux/if_pppolac.h' is not exported
./usr/include/linux/if_pppox.h:27: included file 'linux/if_pppopns.h' is not exported
scripts/Makefile.headersinst:120: recipe for target 'usr/include/linux/.check' failed
make[4]: *** [usr/include/linux/.check] Error 123
scripts/Makefile.headersinst:127: recipe for target 'linux' failed
make[3]: *** [linux] Error 2
Makefile:1080: recipe for target 'headers_check' failed
make[2]: *** [headers_check] Error 2
any ideas?
I'm using the command "make -j 3 deb-pkg" to build.

No but i will go down to to same road so i can enable my wifi, maybe i find something!

Why are you using make -j 3 deb-pkg, should it not be ¨make arch=x86_64¨ ?
just copy the default config first to somewhere else, like cp arch/x86/android-x86_64_defconfig /work/config/,config
Then make -o /work/config/.config xconfig
make -j4 -o work/config/.config

Kernel compiled fine here, however I forgot https://github.com/jide-opensource/remixos-kernel/tree/jide_x86_lollipop/android/configs;)

I must be doing somethign wrong, I did that, using the config file arch/x86/configs/android-x86_64_defconfig
Code:
CC [M] drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/hal/odm_RTL8723B.o
LD [M] drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/r8723bs.o
LD [M] drivers/staging/xgifb/xgifb.o
LD drivers/staging/built-in.o
Makefile:947: recipe for target 'drivers' failed
make: *** [drivers] Error 2

Yes, it's because I want to build the wifi myself from this repo:

They write;
For older kernel than 4.3, you might also need this patch applied: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/k.../?id=d31911b9374a76560d2c8ea4aa6ce5781621e81d
Maybe this ?,
My module rtl8188EU was already in the /stage i just enabled it.

I thought I would start by trying to build the kernel exactly as published, and then start patching it. thanks for the suggestion.

p.s. I build the kernel as a debian package on my debian dev box, which is a VM on qemu/kvm, and then boot the kernel on that dev box to check it works.

I've managed to build a kernel. It doesn't boot on my VM, but I will now "dismantle" the RemixOS usb image, and try copying in the extra kernel modules from my build.
I also need to load in a terminal app and root the remixos image so's I can do useful things when its booted.

Let me know how you got the modules, i'm to be hon-nest i have no clue how to get those modules. How did you found out how they build-ed the USB kernel?
I wan't to have the exact same kernel options as there USB image... and then start to change some things

so when I got it to build, I did "make modules_install" and then looked in /lib/modules and found it.
meanwhile, I unzipped RemixOS usb stick image (EFI) and mounted the nested file systems like this
Code:
unzip release_Remix_OS_for_PC_64_B2016020201_Alpha_EFI.zip Remix_OS_for_PC_64_B2016020201_Alpha_EFI.img
mount -o loop,offset=1048576 Remix_OS_for_PC_64_B2016020201_Alpha_EFI.img /mnt/remix
cd /mnt/remix
mkdir /mnt/remix-sfs
mount -o loop system.sfs /mnt/remix-sfs
cd /mnt/remix-sfs
mkdir /mnt/remix-sfs-system
mount -o loop system.img /mnt/remix-sfs-system

Okay i managed the same, but also not booting. at least i can see that here is full gui support now, but again i only get a shell.

Do you know if there is any way to capture the current kernel config from the running android machine?, i tried to see if there was a config in /proc but no..
The thing is to nail this down you can do two things, either dmesg and see whats going wrong or capture a working config and build on top of that one.

Like you, I tried the same... there's nothing in /boot, and the kernel doesn't provide a /proc/config.gz
I tried the "contact us" on the jide website to ask about building the kernel and didn't get a response. I've not seen any jide people respond to discussions on google groups.
It does seem Jide want to act in good faith:
