The short answer is that you're trying to do the build in the wrong directory. Here's a somewhat longer explanation: For the kernel, if you really want to build a single kernel module (e.g., a driver, or the NFS client), you need to cd into the "build directory" for that module, which is typically in usr/src/uts/intel or usr/src/uts/i86pc. (If you're building for SPARC, look in usr/src/uts/sparc or usr/src/uts/sun4u). For example, the build directory for the NFS client is usr/src/uts/intel/nfs, and the build directory for the audioixp driver is usr/src/uts/i86pc/audioixp. But I don't recommend building just a single kernel module. There are a lot of private interfaces in the kernel, and it's very easy for modules to get out of sync with each other. When I'm doing kernel development work, I almost always build the entire kernel as a unit. To build the entire kernel, cd to usr/src/uts and run "dmake all" from there. Xu, if you're still stuck, let us know. cheers, mike
