[Fwd: NEWBIE!: What is wrong with this Makefile?]

[Muthu Kumar <kmkumar@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've test module that spans two files. sillymod.c and sillymod_test.c.  
I use the following Makefile to compile the module under 2.6 kernel.  
  
--------------------------------------------------- 
ifeq ($(KSRC),) 
KSRC=/lib/modules/2.6.5-1.358custom/build 
endif 
 
obj-m := sillymod.o 
sillymod-objs := sillymod_test.o 
 
build: 
        make -C $(KSRC) SUBDIRS=`pwd` modules 
 
install: 
        @# completely broken ATM - removes the whole dir 
        @#make -C $(KSRC) SUBDIRS=`pwd` modules_install 
        @echo "Install it yourself ..." 
 
clean: 
        @# kbuild can't handle this (yet ?) 
        @#make -C $(KSRC) SUBDIRS=`pwd` clean 
        rm -f *.o *.ko *.mod.o *.mod.c .*.{cmd,flags} 
        rm -rf config.status config.log autom4te*.cache 
 
 ---------------------------------- 
 
When I insmod sillymod.ko, I get "module license 'unspecified' taints kernel 
error. And, printk didnt work. 
 
If I comment out sillymod-objs line from the Makefile, then I don't get the 
above error and printk works! 
 
The MODULE_LICENSE macro is in sillymod.c. 
 
Whats up with this Makefile? 
 
Thanks
