I have the source code of v4l2loopback kernel module that works in Ubuntu 20 in a laptop.

Now I am trying to compile the same code in Ubuntu 20 but inside WSL2. For that I am using this:

make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(PWD) modules

The problem is that /lib/module/ is empty.

So I tried getting the headers using:

sudo apt search linux-headers-`uname -r`

Sorting... Done
Full Text Search... Done

But nothing get's populated in the modules folder

Is there anything I need to do in order that folder contains all required modules?
