I posted that second block of information because the webpage solution you sent to me indicated that installing Linux headers for the make install will help it succeed.
Yochanan, would there be a way for you to take remote access of my computer? I think that would make things much easier.
What directory are you running the make command in?
Something else was accessing the database, try that command again.
Choose the version that matches the current running kernel. Also install the versions for other installed kernels in case you ever decide to boot into them.
Well, I went online to research how to install the firmware and driver for this dongle. I found a few youtube videos that indicated I should just copy the command lines from the readme.txt file, each one in order. I did exactly that and it just gave me what you see. Then I came here for help.
As for your second quesiton, I am just clicking on the terminal icon and then inputting the information. Maybe I am not in the right directory to do said commands.
I just tested it and it worked as expected. I downloaded the .zip, extracted it, extracted the .tar.gz and ran make install INTERFACE=usb inside the Linux_BT_USB_v3.10_20200302_8761BU_BTCOEX_20190327-0202/8761BU folder. I purposely did not use sudo as I don’t plan on installing it, but you get the idea:
❯ make install INTERFACE=usb
make -C 8761BU

there is nothing to do
I replaced your name with mine (because, of course, my system can’t run off of your system) and tried it again.

I’m thinking that, if it is possible, taking remote access of my computer would be the easiest way.

Here is the results of the new info you gave me to input into the terminal.
I’m not sure if this was suppose to happen, but I removed the dongle from the USB port in my laptop and plugged it back in. The bluetooth symbol appeared on my screen, which did not happen previously. Did my system recognize the dongle?
When I disconnect the dongle from the laptop, the bluetooth icon grays out. When I reconnect it, the bluetooth icon goes back to online status. I think this means that it’s working. I’m going to make a test call with my wireless earbuds to see if this setup works properly now.
I just called my friend in the States and they say that they can hear me more clearly now but it sounds as if I’m in a very empty room or in a bathroom.
I think that may be due to distance and other factors.
