However, I'm sorry but I'm still confused: it's said in Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt on section 3.3, that if a module kernel is build from several sources file, we have to use the module_name-y variable. Maybe a misunderstood the context of this doc (the example is from in-tree kernel module) ? > That should resolve your other issues here. > > hope this helps, Well, I tried again (with X-objs) but I've get the same issue :( No hurry anyways, I have a scull driver to implements... :) Thanks, Colin (PS: sorry for duplication) _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
