Hello guys ,
I have
just started on a project for writing a driver for an ethernet card .i
have started following the book Linux device driver by Rubini,
3rd edition . I got the program samples from their website
. I tried using make command ,got the following error :
//
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.10-1.771_FC2/build M=/home/abhi/programming/devicedriver/chap1 modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/lib/modules/2.6.10-1.771_FC2/build'
CC [M] /home/abhi/programming/devicedriver/chap1/hello.o
make[2]: *** No rule to make target
`/home/abhi/programming/devicedriver/chap1/hellop.c', needed by
`/home/abhi/programming/devicedriver/chap1/hellop.o'.
Stop.make[1]: *** [_module_/home/abhi/programming/devicedriver/chap1]
Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/lib/modules/2.6.10-1.771_FC2/build'
make: *** [modules] Error 2
[root@localhost chap1]# ls
hello.c hello.o Makefile
//
Im running fedora core 2 with linux version in /usr/src/linux2.6.5.x
I have recently installed 2.6.10 kernel version using yum ,which has a
different boot loader and is present in the following location:
/lib/modules/2.6.10-1.771_FC2/ ....
my make file is as follows :
-----------------------------------------------
# To build modules outside of the kernel tree, we run "make"
# in the kernel source tree; the Makefile these then includes this
# Makefile once again.
# This conditional selects whether we are being included from the
# kernel Makefile or not.
ifeq ($(KERNELRELEASE),)
# Assume the source tree is where the running kernel was built
# You should set KERNELDIR in the environment if it's elsewhere
KERNELDIR ?= /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build
# The current directory is passed to sub-makes as argument
PWD := $(shell pwd)
modules:
$(MAKE) -C $(KERNELDIR) M=$(PWD) modules
modules_install:
$(MAKE) -C $(KERNELDIR) M=$(PWD) modules_install
clean:
rm -rf *.o *~ core .depend .*.cmd *.ko *.mod.c .tmp_versions
.PHONY: modules modules_install clean
else
# called from kernel build system: just declare what our modules are
obj-m := hello.o hellop.o seq.o jit.o jiq.o sleepy.o complete.o \
silly.o faulty.o kdatasize.o kdataalign.o
endif
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I believe we should get a .ko file as output apart from .o file ....
Any info on where I could have gone wrong will be great..
Hoping for a positive reply
Regards
abhishek
