OK, first, I don't know what "source" means as opposed to other
types of files. But I already had the ndiswrapper-1.4.tar.gz file, so I
made a new folder and dragged ndiswrapper-1.4.tar.gz into it. Then
I managed to navigate to the new folder.
Then I did tar xvzf ndiswrapper-1.4.tar.gz and it made a whole
bunch of files and folders. I managed to get to the ndiswrapper-1.4
folder and I typed make, but it gave me a bunch of errors: (Watch
out for typos below, as I had to type it over manually into Pegasus
on my Windows machine -- can't get Evolution to send to this e-
mail account for some reason.)

I didn't go further, as it appeared from the above that the make
command did not work.
Also, I recall that after extracting the tarball I am supposed to go
into three control files and change i386 to amd64 in the line that
says "architecture: i386." I didn't do that before running the make
command, but I just tried it again (started over with NewFolder2),
changed the control files and resaved them, then ran the make
command again. Same pile of errors as above.
Hopefully the errors will tell you what went wrong with the make
command and how I can fix it. Thanks!
