I'll have to go Googling a bit further to figure out your "make install" answer. :-) To be more precise, I can't find any docs on telling the top kernel Makefile how to output module exes in a target different from the default. I don't understand how 'make install' relates to this ? (I'm building a module cross-compiled, on a Linux Host machine (Ubuntu 8.10), but to load/debug on an ARM9 EABI target) The gist of my Makefile under Eclipse was posted in my reply to Lin : "status of u32 type in 2.6.29.4" (IOW I'm using buildroot with Kernel 2.6.29.4) > The commands would depend on what environment are yoiu developing your > modules.

I'm writing module code from Eclipse/CDT 6.0. I'm using my own Makefile to build modules from within Eclipse with arm-linux-gcc 4.3.2. I usually debug using SSH through EClipse/CDT's remote debugger gdb/mi. I hope this clarifies better what I'm trying to do.
