i think u are asking how does Makefile works. I only understand some aspect of it...not its entirety....which can be very powerful and complex....suficient to generate my modules and integrate with the rest of kernel. http://www-subatech.in2p3.fr/~photons/subatech/soft/srt/html/c2470.html http://www.cs.duke.edu/~ola/courses/programming/Makefiles/node1.html http://sunsite.ualberta.ca/Documentation/Gnu/make-3.79/html_chapter/make_3.html for all practical purposes, it is better to just take an existing sample, and work from there....which means u have to spent some time finding a good sample on the Internet......instead of spending time learning all the details and write one of your own....my 2cts....
