Richard isn't convinced. In most cases a kernel module from a source repository would have some form of makefile included with it. yes, if you're creating one from scratch, this is helpful but in general you do create a makefile at that point and are unlikely to want to keep auto-generating one. As such I'm not convinced this class matches the siutation most people wanting to build software would be in. Cheers, Richard
