Hello, I am learning about module programming and just tried to build a simplest module, Hello World.
The code is as follows: /* hello.c #include <linux/module.h> #include <linux/kernel.h> int init_module(void) { printk("Hello world!\n"); return 0; } void cleanup_module(void) { printk(KERN_ALERT "Goodbye world!\n"); } The makefile is just one line: obj-m += hello.o Then as root, I did in the HelloWorld directory: make -C /usr/src/linux-`uname -r` SUBDIRS=$PWD modules There is such an error: make: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.5-7.104-default' WARNING: Symbol version dump /usr/src/linux-2.6.5-7.104-default/Module.symvers is missing, modules will have CONFIG_MODVERSIONS disabled. make[1]: *** No rule to make target `/home/lei/HelloWorld/hello.c', needed by `/home/lei/HelloWorld/hello.o'. Stop. make: *** [_module_/home/lei/HelloWorld] Error 2 make: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.5-7.104-default' Appreciate any comments and help!
