linux - 2.6 - driver compilation - Makefile

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

 



Hi,
 
I have written a simple char driver(mychar) for linux 2.6.22 kernel.
I have split my driver code into 2 C files.
- mychar.c (main file where __init is present)
- test1.c (some user defined function)
 
I am using Makefile for compilation.
My makefile looks like this -
------------------------------------------------------------
EXTRA_CFLAGS += -I. -ITEST
 
obj-m += mychar.o
mychar-objs += TEST/test1.o
 
KDIR := /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build
PWD := $(shell pwd)
 
all:
    $(MAKE) -C $(KDIR) M=$(PWD) modules
 
clean:
    $(MAKE) -C $(KDIR) M=$(PWD) clean
---------------------------------------------------------------
 
I am interested in building only mychar.ko and no the whole kernel.
I am doing my development on Ubuntu 7.10 with kernel version 2.6.22-14-generic
 
Although this Makefile works and I could able to generate "mychar.ko". Also when I do "insmod mychar.ko" the module installs successfully, and I could
see "mychar" in "lsmod" output.
I have added some printk in my module_init function but after doing insmod I am not able to see any output in /var/log/messages
 
If I put everything in single C file(only mychar.c), I could able to see all the output in /var/log/messages.
 
Please let me know what am I doing wrong while including the 2 C files and how should the makefile be modified.
( I have referred Documentation/kbuild makefiles.txt for creating my makefile)
 
 
Thanks, Regards
Pintu
