I guess section "6.3 Symbols From Another External Module" from Documentation/kbuild/modules.txt contains possible solutions to that problem. > I compiled did like this : > make -C <path to kernel sources (compiled kernel - does it matter > compile or not compiled?)> SUBDIRS=<path to my driver code placed in > my home directory (not inside the kernel sources) modules > Compiled successfully except the warnings I stated above.That is the > reason i asked to way to install the headers of my compiled kernel. To get good answers it helps to quote the command you used and the output (stderr and stdout) that this command generated. Greg K-H wrote a booklet that explains most of the problems you've run into in, I think, great detail: "Linux Kernel in a Nutshell". Perhaps it is available for free on the interwebs (as its license allows that). Anyhow, I'm running out of time here. I'll be glad to try to talk you through setting up things properly (especially /usr/src/[...] or /lib/modules/[...]/build), if still needed, next Monday. Hope this helps, Paul Bolle _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
