Re: New to kernel programming

[Kousik Maiti <maiti.kousik@xxxxxxxxx>]

This is my makefile:

ifeq    ($(KERNELRELAESE),)

        KERNELDIR ?= /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build

        PWD := $(shell pwd)

.PHONY: module clean

module:

        $(MAKE) -C $(KERNELDIR) M=$(PWD) modules

clean:

        rm -rf *.o *~ core .depend .*.cmd  *.mod.c .tmp_versions Module.symvers

else

        $(info Building with KERNELRELEASE = ${KERNELRELEASE})

        # called from kernel build system: just declare what the modules are

        obj-m :=        hi.o

endif

It seems like your Makefile is wrong. Can you show it?
