Hi,
I am trying to build "backports-3.12.8-1" for my kernel 3.1.10. I am
following the instructions in the backports wiki to cross compile for
arm. But the compilation fails complaining "‘THIS_MODULE’ undeclared".
As suggested by one of the earlier posts in the forum, I tried including
#include <linux/module.h>
before
#include <linux/skbuff.h>
But it did not make any difference.Attached is a error log.
Thank you in advance for any help.
Tony
