Hello All, I want to compile external linux kernel module without using KBUILD. I tried to find out whole process of kernel module compilation using KBUILD after enabling flag KBUILD_VERBOSE=1. If we look at 2.6 kernel module building process. 1. gcc is making ".hello.o.d" and ".tmp_hello.o" from "hello.c" file. 2. Creating "hello.o" file using ".hello.o.d" and ".tmp_hello.o". 3. Running Script "scripts/mod/modpost" to create "hello.mod.c" using ?hello.o?. 4. gcc is making "hello.mod.o" after compiling "hello-mod.c" file. 5. finally "ld" is linking "hello.o" and "hello.mod.o" and making "hello.ko". Step 2 of above process is not very much cleared, how it is making hello-2.o from ".hello.o.d" and ".tmp_hello.o". What is ".tmp_hello.o?. Do we have any document which describe how to make kernel module without using KBUILD. Any pointer of information is very helpful for me.
