Building external module

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

Need to compile an external module as a kernel built-in module. Its
Makefile is set as obj-m meaning as a loadable module so it will be
kept on filesystem separately. This means I have to do obj-y to make
it built-in. But I wanted to know, before I just try it out, that the
Makefile of the kernel module is way too complex for me and there was
an install target which is creating files for miscilleneous functions
of the module and it had a /dev/<module-name>, which means its a
device driver.

So what do I need to consider apart from the change obj-m to obj-y?
