Re: [kbuild-devel] Help in Makefile for Kernel module
Hello Sam, Thanks for your help. As per your suggestion I modified the Makefile. However I get main.ko in the maind directory and foobard.ko in foobard directory. These are two independent kernel modules. I tried several other things in the Makefile and I did not make any progress to build one kernel module of the whole tree. Any help on this will be appreciated. Now the tree is as: testd | |-- Makefile | |--maind || ||-- Makefile ||-- main.c | | |--foobard | | |-- Makefile |-- foobar1.c |-- foobar2.c The Makefile in the root directory has: obj-m := maind/ foobard/ The Makefile in the maind directory has: obj-m := main.o The Makefile in the foobard directory has: obj-m:= foobard.o foobard-y := foobar1.o foobar2.o In the testd directory, I run make -C /usr/src/linux-2.6.11.7 M=$(pwd) modules Thanks for any help Regards Suzzane _ On the road to retirement?

[kbuild-devel] Help in Makefile for Kernel module
Hello, I have a Kernel module source tree similar as below: | |--Makefile | |--maind || || ||-- main.c | | |--foobard || | |-- foobar1.c | |-- foobar2.c The below make file works fine. ## # # Linux 2.6 Kernel module Makefile # MODULE_NAME = test $(MODULE_NAME)-objs = maind/main.o foobard/foobar1.o foobard/foobar2.o ifneq ($(KERNELRELEASE),) obj-m := $(MODULE_NAME).o else KDIR:= /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build PWD := $(shell pwd) all: $(MAKE) -C $(KDIR) M=$(PWD) modules endif ## However I would like to know if it is possible to have a Makefile inside the foobard directory that will link foobar1.o and foobar2.o into one say foobar.o and have the below line as: $(MODULE_NAME)-objs = maind/main.o foobard/foobar.o instead of: $(MODULE_NAME)-objs = maind/main.o foobard/foobar1.o foobard/foobar2.o Thanks for any help Regards Suzzane _ Dont just search.

Re: [kbuild-devel] Help in Makefile for Kernel module
Hi Suzzane However I would like to know if it is possible to have a Makefile inside the foobard directory that will link foobar1.o and foobar2.o into one say foobar.o and have the below line as: The lowest granularity the kbuild system works with is a module. So what you can do is to define a module in the foobard/ directory. Then you would stick a dependency on this module in your top-level module in maind/. The Makefile's would look like this: Makefile (stripped all the conditional stuff): obj-m := maind/ foobard/ foobard/Makefile: obj-m := foobard.o foobard-y := foobar1.o foobar2.o maind/Makefile: obj-m := main.o Sam --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: New Crystal Reports XI.

[kbuild-devel] help patch: clarification in BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_PCI
Kernel: 2.4.19 Summary: wording in BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_PCI help text is misleading. Symptom: text contains no hint about Pmacs needing this option whenever BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_PMAC is selected leading to unresolved symbols at the final link. Been there done that... Reasons: BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_PMAC code depends on BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_PCI code. The text as it is talks only about Pentium systems. Proposed solutions: --- 1. the patch below, or, 2. pull the IDEDMA_PMAC options under BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_PCI so that it is impossible to select BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_PMAC without BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_PCI.
