make: Nothing to be done for `default'.


Hi,
I am newbie to linux device drivers, while i am trying simle hello.c code i have this problem.

hello.c:

#include<linux/init.h>
#include <linux/module.h>
#include<linux/kernel.h>

MODULE_LICENSE(" Dual BSD/GPL ");

static int __init init_hello(void)
{
printk("<1>Hello World\n");
return 0;
}
static void __exit exit_hello(void)
{
printk("<1>Goodbye,cruel world\n");
}

module_init(init_hello);
module_exit(exit_hello);


Makefile for hello.c is

obj-m := hello.o

KDIR := /lib/modules/$(2.6.29.4-167.fc11.i686.PAE)/build
PWD := $(/home/purush/New)

default:
$(MAKE) -C $(KDIR) SUBDIRS=$(PWD) modules


i did make in root only, but it saying

make: Nothing to be done for `default'.

See if the Makefile in the following link helps you somehow:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...2/#post3766424

and write your code in code tags to make it easier for others to read.

Personally I would have to say that is one of the most complicated "simple" hello programs I have seen, but each to their own I guess.

Code:
obj-m += moduleName.o

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

clean:
        make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(PWD) clean
i have used above code and it saying
make: Nothing to be done for `all'.

what i have to give in shell?
make is only enough? or something else.....

Did you replace the moduleName.o with your file name ?
Kindly paste the **exact** Makefile code here:

I told you only to change the Module name, keep the remaining things same.:
Code:
obj-m += hello.o

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

clean:
        make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(PWD) clean
Is your "hello.c" and the "Makefile" in the same directory ?

Hello,
I got it,


When you copy paste the Makefile from post 7, make sure you delete the spaces shown in RED below by Backspace key and then press TAB

Code:
obj-m += hello.o

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

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