The information that you were suggested to read it how to configure GCC so it can find the kernel headers. Personally, I use 'make' to compile my sources. But I really think that you should read about C programming in general a little more, specifically how a compiler works. Linux uses a very complex build system and if you want to write modules for it, the best chances you have is to work with that system. Perhaps you can start with a simple driver module project to understand what is happening. Have a look at this book: http://lwn.net/Kernel/LDD3/ Also, I suggest you find yourself a good C book that explains how the compiler will find the includes at the top of your code. For this code to work: #include <linux/module.h> Your compiler should be told where to find the header files that are in the kernel sources.
