Re: [PLUG] FW: Complining Modules

[basic <basic@op.net>]

dear Anthony:
  i have been reading Linux Device Drivers by Rubini  (o'reilly)
   on pages 18-20
  "to build object file that the kernel can load" use this makefile
  INCLUDEDIR = /usr/include

  CFLAGS = -D__KERNEL__  -DMODULE  -O -Wall -I$(INCLUDEDIR)
**** the next line is mine  ... i do not use make files but
     you need the gcc to get the xxxx.o file ***********
   gcc -c xxxx.c   ( this gives the object file xxxx.o)
  
  #Extract version number from headers
  VER = $(shell awk -F\" '/REL/ {print $$2}'
        $(INCLUDEDIR)/linux/version.h)
  
  OBJS=	xxxx.o       (xxxx is your module name)
  
  all: $(OBJS)
  
  install:
       install -d /lib/modules/$(VER)/misc /lib/modules/misc
       install -c xxxx.o  /lib/modules/$(VER)/misc
       install -c xxxx.o  /lib/modules/misc 
     
  clean:
        rm -f *.o *~ core
   
   -------------
   end of makefile
    use insmode to load it
	
(you can just look at your version & then VER = 2.2.18
      if you are on 2.2.18 )
      good luck,
      sandy
