THEY (whoever 'they' are) don't want you to build modules that way
anymore. THEY don't want you to use standard tools in standard ways.
The module build procedure has been obfuscated to punish people
like you who are obviously traditionalists. However, if you insist
upon building a module the traditional way, try this:
#
VRS := $(shell uname -r)
INC := $(shell gcc --print-file-name include)
NAME = YOUR_MODULE_NAME
CC = gcc -Wall -O2 -nostdinc -fomit-frame-pointer
INCL = -I$(INC)
INCL += -I/usr/src/linux-$(VRS)/include
INCL += -I/usr/src/linux-$(VRS)/include/asm/mach-default
DEFS = -D__KERNEL__ -DMODULE -DMAJOR_NR=$(MAJR) -DCONFIG_SMP=1
DEFS += -DMODNAME=$(NAME) -DKBUILD_BASENAME=\"$(NAME)\"
CC += $(DEFS) $(INCL) -fno-strict-aliasing
... After that, you are going to have to link your module with:
#include <linux/kernel.h>
#include <linux/module.h>
#include <linux/compiler.h>
#define DEREF(x) (#x)
#define MKSTR(x) DEREF(x)
#include <linux/vermagic.h>
MODULE_INFO(vermagic, VERMAGIC_STRING);
struct module __attribute__((section(".gnu.linkonce.this_module")))
__this_module = {
.name = MKSTR(MODNAME),
.init = init_module,
.exit = cleanup_module,
};
static const char __attribute_used__ __attribute__((section(".modinfo")))
__module_depends[]="depends=";
... to make a ".ko" file. See! Isn't that fun?
Cheers,
