Well the purpose of my advise what to show you how to cross compile kernel modules without having to worry about kernel version, kernel headers and compiler versions. By using Robert’s build tool, he does all that for you. Better still, if you use source indexing with Eclipse, you get function code completion and can jump to those function using "ctrl left mouse click” and “alt left arrow” to return to your code. There are also lots of example in the Kernel/samples folder.
