I downloaded the driver (for linux) from the AVerMedia site, unpacked it into an xyz directory, and from that directory I gave the command make. I got the following output

Missing files that required to build driver: /lib/modules/4.9.35-v7+/source/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-usb/dvb-usb-common.h dvb-usb/dvb-usb.h dvb-usb/dvb-usb-ids.h dvb-core/dvb_frontend.h dvb-core/dvbdev.h dvb-core/dmxdev.h dvb-core/dvb_demux.h dvb-core/dvb_net.h dvb-core/demux.h dvb-core/dvb_ringbuffer.h frontends/dvb-pll.h
Try to get kernel source closest to 4.9.35-v7+ from www.kernel.org and then copy to /lib/modules/4.9.35-v7+/source/drivers/media/dvb.

Indeed the directory /lib/modules/4.9.35-v7+ exists on my raspbian installation (raspberry Pi 2) but with no source subdirectory under it.

I do not know how to interpret the suggestion above Try to get kernel source *closest* to 4.9.35-v7+ ..., and I haven't the slightest idea how I could find and download the required files from that site.

Perhaps it is useless to say, but the command uname -r returns 4.9.35-v7+

Can anybody please give me instructions (detailed if possible) how-to ...?
Added later : Or at least some clarification?

  • First install "sudo apt-get install dpkg-dev" and then "sudo apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r)".

  • "sudo apt-get install dpkg-dev" returned "...dpkg-dev is already the newest version. dpkg-dev set to manually installed...". "sudo apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r)" returned "...E: You must put some 'source' URIs in your sources.list...". But which URI I should put? I have no idea...

  • in "/etc/apt/sources.list" you should have a row that begins with "deb-src", example "deb-src archive.raspbian.org/raspbian jessie main contrib non-free rpi".

  • Uncommented the line and issued again sudo apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r). Result was Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Unable to find a source package for linux-image-4.9.35-v7+

  • Edit of prev. comment timed out. New text is:Uncommented the line and issued sudo apt-get update (resulted in a list with many URIs inside - do not know if and how i am supposed to use) and then issued again sudo apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r). (result was Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Unable to find a source package for linux-image-4.9.35-v7+)
