module compile_ firsttime
 

I am writing a helloworld module & for my make this is the errors comming

rajasekhar@localhost hello]$ make -f Makefile.txt
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.20/build M=/home/rajasekhar/hello modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernels/linux-2.6.20.4'
scripts/Makefile.build:17: /home/rajasekhar/hello/Makefile: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `/home/rajasekhar/hello/Makefile'. Stop.
make[1]: *** [_module_/home/rajasekhar/hello] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernels/linux-2.6.20.4'
make: *** [default] Error 2


my makefile is like this PLEASE FIND THE BUG
ifneq ($(KERNELRELEASE),)
@echo $(KERNELRELEASE)
# call from kernel build system

obj-m := hello.o

else

KERNELDIR ?= /lib/modules/2.6.20/build
PWD := $(shell pwd)

default:
$(MAKE) -C $(KERNELDIR) M=$(PWD) modules
echo $(KERNELDIR)

endif

clean:
rm -rf *.o *~ core .depend .*.cmd *.ko *.mod.c .tmp_versions

depend .depend dep:
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -M *.c > .depend


ifeq (.depend,$(wildcard .depend))
include .depend
endif

Why don’t you call your makefile “Makefile” instead of “Makefile.txt”?
