[SOLVED] module compilation

ktnamus · 12-08-2012, 07:27 AM

i tried to compile module hello.c in linux 3.2.0-23-generic..
the error with btusb.c arrised. how to fix this error..i don't no kernel programming..

Code:

root@ubuntu:~# make
make -C /lib/modules/3.2.0-23-generic/build M= modules

i downloaded the copy of btusb.c from LXR but gives the same errors...

Which hello.c is it about ? A link please.
( I don't understand why bluetooth/* should be used.)

An example that works : Post #2 here

you mean i dont need to compile bluetooth drivers.
my helloworld program is the basic program which may be found out is first lesson of driver or module compilation....

knudfl · 12-08-2012, 12:25 PM

All you need to compile a simple module is an empty folder in /home/<name>/,
with hello.c and a basic module 'Makefile' like this one :

Code:

obj-m    := hello.o

KDIR    := /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build
PWD    := $(shell pwd)

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

Then : $ cd <new-folder> && make : hello.ko is created.

.

i had these files.

Code:

#include<linux/module.h>
#include<linux/kernel.h>
int init_module(void)
{
printk(KERN_INFO "HELLO WORLD");
return 0;
}
void end_module(void)
{
printk(KERN_INFO "GOOD BYE");
}
module_init(init_module);
module_exit(end_module);

Code:

obj-m += mymodule.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

actualy my problem was http://http://www.linuxquestions.org...em-4175439981/
as you said i copied bound.c,but then it showed that problem for other files too. so i copied these all which were needed...and above
problem came..so say me something atleast about where am i wrong.

# 5

Don't know what's the meaning with line 12, 13 in your file :
module_init(init_module);
module_exit(end_module);

But when those two lines are deleted, the file compiles OK :
mymodule.ko is created

.

ktnamus · 12-15-2012, 01:58 AM

i get it. but i module.o is created but has error with version

Code:

root@ubuntu:~# insmod hello.o
insmod: error inserting 'hello.o': -1 Invalid module format
root@ubuntu:~#

how to know which versions of the packages 'kernel' and 'kernel-devel' i have and how to fix them.

knudfl · 12-15-2012, 03:58 AM

# 7 . The Debian / Ubuntu package names are : linux-image , linux-headers.

You already know the 'linux-headers' version : linux-headers-3.2.0-23-generic

The "kernel in use" : $ uname -r

'linux-image' and 'linux-headers' must be the same version, to make a module.
And the compiler gcc must be the same that was used to compile your working kernel.
That's most often the default gcc, but not always.
Ubuntu 12.04 : gcc-4.6.3 ?

.

ktnamus · 12-15-2012, 06:07 AM

i have gcc4.6.3,and

Code:

root@ubuntu:~# uname -r
3.2.0-23-generic

but the differnce seen when i tried..

Code:

root@ubuntu:~# dpkg --list | grep linux-image
ii  linux-image-3.2.0-23-generic           3.2.0-23.36                             Linux kernel image for version 3.2.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP
ii  linux-image-generic                    3.2.0.23.25                             Generic Linux kernel image
root@ubuntu:~#

is this difference...
i think it was because recently i downloaded headers-3.2.0-23.36,if so where i would get headers-3.2.0.23.25

# 9 : sudo insmod hello.ko : OK here.

These are the installed packages :

Code:

$ dpkg --list | grep linux-image

           Generic Linux kernel image

$ dpkg --list | grep linux-headers
