Failed to build the drivers

[jonejames235]

The build fails because required header files (lwpmudrv_version.h and lwpmudrv_types.h) are missing. Make sure the SEP driver source is complete and that all dependencies are installed. Often, this happens if the source folder isn’t fully extracted or the build script can’t locate the headers. Verify the source directory and include paths before rebuilding.

What a bad answer, must be AI...

The installation readme.txt states:

------------------

# build the driver:
cd /path/to/sepdk/sources/
./build-driver

----------------

There is no "path/to/sepdk/sources/", it is actually "path/to/sepdk/src/"

Your AI slop answer "...the build script can’t locate the headers..." true that.

The "missing" headers is located in "/opt/intel/oneapi/vtune/2025.4/sepdk/src/inc" folder. 

The make file complains it can not find headers located in the /inc  subfolder. What should i do, customize the Intels make file? Is it not better that Intel ships a makefile and readme.txt that is correct and works?
