ixgbe versions don't compile on Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS

I am trying to compile different versions (5.10.2/5.12.5/5.13.4) of the ixgbe driver on Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS.

It keeps throwing the same error message with any version. Do you have any suggestion where the issue could be?

Thnx

I would recommend to install 5.13 kernel using my method from [other answer](https://askubuntu.com/a/1388847/66509). This kernel version ships [IXGBE config](https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=impish&arch=amd64&mode=exactfilename&searchon=contents&keywords=ixgbe) and probably modules too.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
