Hi, I have some Makefile questions 1)Why a kernel module in 2.6 kernel cannot be compiled with single gcc command? Why it requires Makefile in current directory so that i can use Makefile? 2) why following command used to compile 2.4 kernel module fails on 2.6 kernel gcc -D__KERNEL__ -DMODULE -DLINUX -O2 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -I/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include -c -o example.ko example.c 3) Is that because of gcc cannot create .ko file?? then what header changes occurred from .o to .ko module implementaion? Thanks & Regards, cranium __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
