I wrote following program in my home directory. #include <linux/kernel.h> #include <sys/syscall.h> #include <linux/module.h> extern void *sys_table[]; asmlinkage int(*main_sys_exit)(int); { printk("Sys_exit called with err_code=%d\n",err_code); return main_sys_exit(err_code); } int init_module() { main_sys_exit=sys_table[__NR_exit]; sys_table[__NR_exit]=alt_exit_function; } void cleanup_module() { sys_table[__NR_exit]=main_sys_exit; } ~ [/code] When I compiled it as gcc -Wall -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -DLINUX -c sample2.c[/code] I got following error sample2.c:3:26: error: linux/module.h: No such file or directory sample2.c:5: error: expected ‘=’, ‘,’, ‘;’, ‘asm’ or ‘__attribute__’ before ‘int’ sample2.c:6: error: expected identifier or ‘(’ before ‘{’ token sample2.c: In function ‘init_module’: sample2.c:13: error: ‘main_sys_exit’ undeclared (first use in this function) sample2.c:13: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once sample2.c:13: error: for each function it appears in.) sample2.c:14: error: ‘alt_exit_function’ undeclared (first use in this function) sample2.c:15: warning: control reaches end of non-void function sample2.c: In function ‘cleanup_module’: sample2.c:18: error: ‘main_sys_exit’ undeclared (first use in this function) What is the above error and why is it coming? I did all this in my home directory. -- Tapas -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
