Linux Kernel Module Programming
 

Hello,

I've spend countless hours trying to create a simple hello.c module in linux 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.

I read the tldp.org manual for it and it still doesn't work.

this is my hello.c:
#include <linux/module.h>
#include <linux/kernel.h>

int init_module(void)
{
printk(KERN_INFO "Hello World\n");
return 0;
}

void cleanup_module(void)
{
printk(KERN_INFO "Goodbye\n");
}



my makefile is:
obj-m += hello.o

all:
make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(PWD) modules

and when i try to 'make'
it tells me this.:

[root@localhost code]# make
make -C ../../../lib/modules/2.6.11-1.1369_FC4/build M=/home/user1/code modulesmake: *** ../../../lib/modules/2.6.11-1.1369_FC4/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
make: *** [all] Error 2
[root@localhost code]#


i check that directory with ls -al
and it shows me
[root@localhost 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4]# ls -al
total 100
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Sep 22 20:09 .

whats the problem here?
I'm completely confused

Thanks.

You should also include the ouput of pwd when inside that directory.
