One known tip is to use a relative path for M=. For example, the relative path from your kernel source to your external module directory is ../path/to/module $ make O=path/to/output M=../path/to/module The module objects will be output into path/to/output/../path/to/module/. -- Best Regards Masahiro Yamada
