First - posting to linux-kbuild will liekly get you more attention. The old list at sourceforge is no longer active. [From the bottom of your mail] > If anyone can point me to the "kbuild" way of doing things, it would be > greatly appreciated. Thanks! The kbuild philosofy is that you specify all .o files. Considering the many many hours invested writing a single .c file, then the effort it is to add it to the kbuild file is minimal.

Try something like this: OBJS := $(patsubst %.c, %.o,$(notdir $(wildcard $(src)/*.c))) $(wildcard $(src)/*.c) will find all .c files in the directory where you module reside $(notdir ...) remove the path component. Try to look at the resulting OBJS like this: $(warning OBJS=$(OBJS)) Note - I used ":=" above. I always avoid using "=" unless strictly required.
