Fedora use dnf command and instruction is for debian base distros.Anyway you can use this instructions if you already have network connection establish.
Thanks bluebat. I haven’t attained an internet connection of any kind yet; it appears that my Ethernet is faulty and my Broadcom pci might be too, so now I’m trying for the USB. I’ve downloaded the source rpm and transferred it to my Fedora-installed laptop, but the --rebuild option reports unknown option, and sure enough it’s not listed under Usages
Yes,it is automatically detect but driver is not good. We need to manually install driver and that involve kernel-devel package what is not installed by default … and you need internet …
Ok, another fresh installation. I have wired internet connection.
I’ve updated the Fedora 30 system - dnf install updates
I’ve installed rpmbuild - dnf install rpm-build
I’ve installed kernel-devel - dnf install kernel-devel
And here is my attempt to build the source file:
[root@localhost-live ~]# rpmbuild --rebuild https://github.com/rpmsphere/todo/raw/master/src-kmod/8192eu-4.4.1-1.src.rpm

I researched the make command and found that I needed rmpdevtools, so I installed (dnf install rpmdevtools) but got the same output. Well, except for the name of the tpm file:
+ make
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.f7Va51: line 31: make: command not found
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.f7Va51 (%build)
RPM build errors:

[root@localhost-live ~]#
I had the wrong devtools, though I suppose it can’t hurt to have the rpmdevtools on the system. I’ve now installed Development Tools (dnf groupinstall ‘Development Tools’)
+ make

I’ve checked and the directory and file (namely, build) are there.
However I’m getting the same error report:
[root@localhost-live RTL8192EU]# make

kernel-devel is installed:
[root@localhost-live RTL8192EU]# dnf install kernel-devel
Last metadata expiration check: 2:34:36 ago on Sun 02 Jun 2019 03:41:09 AM EDT.
Package kernel-devel-5.1.5-300.fc30.x86_64 is already installed.
Dependencies resolved.
Nothing to do.
Complete!
Did you update system?“Package kernel-devel-5.1.5-300.fc30.x86_64 is already installed” is package for new kernel.You must reboot and match kernel with kernel-development package
It’s my error - again. Sorry; I entered dnf install update instead of dnf install upgrade and I haven’t been scrutinous with the output. The system is now upgrading. I’ll keep you posted.
Ok, progress. I upgraded (dnf upgrade) and rebooted, but got the same error message above. On repeat of the list above I rebooted before the make command. This time I got past that particular error. Does this mean that I successfully matched the newly installed kernel-devel with the kernel-development package?
Now my latest error report is this;
[root@localhost RTL8192EU]# make install
install -p -m 644 8192eu.ko /lib/modules/5.1.5-300.fc30.x86_64/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/
/sbin/depmod -a 5.1.5-300.fc30.x86_64
depmod: ERROR: failed to load symbols from /lib/modules/5.1.5-300.fc30.x86_64/kernel/drivers/target/iscsi/iscsi_target_mod.ko.xz: Input/output error
[root@localhost RTL8192EU]#
Sorry, i don’t know about this error nothing .Maybe someone will know about this more. Check you have kernel-modules-extra & kernel-modules packages installed. Just run dnf install kernel-modules-extra kernel-modules
