Hello all, this may sound as trivial question to all of u.. But i need some information regarding the make file for Module programming. why is the following line included and wahts the purpose of each of the parts in it. make -C /usr/src/linux M=`pwd` modules. I found out from 'man make' that -C is for changing directory. But i didn't get information on why 'M=`pwd` modules' is used. What purpose does this serve.
