Hi, I am having a strange problem with external module Makefile, with wildcard and patsubst it is giving issue. but without those it is working fine. See the logs for further info. I serached in google, any idea why this happens. if this is a known issue (or wrong coding) send me a link expalining why this is happening. I can see wildcard and patsubst used in core KBUILD Makefiles [root@RHEL5U3-DL580G4 new]# ls Makefile sdirac1.c sdirac1.h sdirac2.c sdirac2.h sdirac3.c sdirac3.h [root@RHEL5U3-DL580G4 new]# cat Makefile obj-m := dirac.o dirac-objs = $(patsubst %.c,%.ko,$(wildcard , *.c)) #dirac-objs = sdirac1.o sdirac2.o sdirac3.o KDIR := /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build all: echo $(dirac-objs) make -C $(KDIR) M=`pwd` modules [root@RHEL5U3-DL580G4 new]# make echo sdirac1.ko sdirac2.ko sdirac3.ko sdirac1.ko sdirac2.ko sdirac3.ko make -C /lib/modules/2.6.18-128.el5PAE/build M=`pwd` modules make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-128.el5-PAE-i686' make[2]: *** No rule to make target `/root/Desktop/new/dirac.c', needed by `/root/Desktop/new/dirac.o'.
