Rick,
Thanks for explaining. Is there some sample makefile which ahieves this
trick somewhere on teh web?
Not on the web, but I use this Makefile for my kernel hacking:
----------
obj-m := your-module.o
KDIR := /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build
PWD := $(shell pwd)
default:
$(MAKE) -C $(KDIR) SUBDIRS=$(PWD) modules
----------
You have your-module.c and the Makefile in the current directory,
just issue "make" and the your-module.ko is built.
install it with this: (I have a install.sh script for that)
#!/bin/sh
install -m 644 your-module.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/your-module.ko
/sbin/depmod -a
(adjust the /lib/modules path according to your needs)
Now make a
# modprobe your-module
and off the fun goes ;-)
Cheers,
Hannes.
