Compilation from Source Code - WireGuard

You will need gcc ≥4.7 and your kernel headers in the right location for compilation.
(You may instead run make debug if you'd like to have additional information on what's happening in your dmesg(1).)
*** Move on to the quick start walkthrough. ***
WireGuard requires Linux ≥3.10, with the following configuration options, which are likely already configured in your kernel, especially if you're installing via distribution packages.
Some, but not all, of these options directly correspond to menuconfig entries. The ones that do not correspond directly correspond to options that imply them. For enabling the above options, select these items in menuconfig:
When building as an out of tree module, it is probable that one needs CONFIG_UNUSED_SYMBOLS set as well.
Rather than building as an external module, if you would like to build WireGuard as a module or as built-in, directly from within the kernel tree, you may use the create-patch.sh script which creates a patch for adding WireGuard directly to the tree or the jury-rig.sh script which links the WireGuard source directory into the kernel tree:
Then you will be able to configure these options directly:
These are selectable easily via menuconfig, if CONFIG_NET and CONFIG_INET are also selected:
