Knark install problem on 2.6 kernel

Hello.
I m running Ubuntu 9.04 (2.6.28-13) and i m trying to install Knark on my machine, i need it for my University exams.
But i m sure there is something wrong with the Makefile.
I tried this:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...errors-717134/
But it didnt helped.

The result after the "make"command is:

Code:

cc -Wall -O2 -Wstrict-prototypes -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -fno-strength-reduce -falign-loops=2 -falign-jumps=2 -falign-functions=2 -include /usr/src/linux-2.6/include/linux/modversions.h -I/usr/src/linux-2.6/include -Wno-uninitialized -c src/modhide.c  -c src/knark.c -o knark.c -D__KERNEL__ -DMODULE -DMODVERSIONS
cc: cannot specify -o with -c or -S with multiple files
make: *** [knark] Error 1

Could somebody help me?

good luck trying to build that program it was written for an older gcc compiler. so you see it is not your machine or the software

this just says the newer gcc or cpp compiler headers will not work. If I was you I would install a separate gcc like 3.2 you system is using 4.3 I think. it will not build the old programs. then you will may run into other problems trying to run it on your system.
Install Slackware 10.2 and give it a try a full install.
Most likely if I am right it is set for the 2.4.x kernel. not sure keep me up to date.
It will not compile on any of my new systems.
[MODERATED]
the 2.4.X kernel is still maintained at kernel.org

Welcome to Linuxquestions.org (LQ) mastrog86.

I see you already have received more help than I would have allowed. You see, LQ has some rules. The gist is we don't like to see LQ affiliated with, involved in or provide help with certain things. Unfortunately LKMs are amongst those. Unfortunately there is no valid or compelling reason to allow it or discuss reopening. Therefore this thread is and will remain closed. Not exactly your loss since there's a gazillion grey, black (or whatever else colour hats they wear these days except white) forums that will happily try to help you along if you have any more question about getting LKMs to work. For all other questions you're welcome to make use of LQ as long as you don't violate the LQ Rules.

If you have any questions about this moderation you're invited to take it up with me by email.
