module compilation fails
 

Hi all,

I tried to compile a simple module on linux and saw a bunch of errors:

Module code:

1 #define MODULE
2 #include <linux/module.h>
3
4 int init_module(void) { printk("<1>Hello, world\n"); return 0; }
5 void cleanup_module(void) { printk("<1>Goodbye cruel world\n"); }

Errors:

"gcc -c hello.c"

from /usr/include/linux/module.h:9,
from hello.c:2:

I am running Ubuntu 5.10 "Breezy Badger", on kernel 2.6.14.1

Maybe anyone knows where the problem is?

Thanx a lot.

Allready solved the problem. 2.6 kernel seems to have specialised module compilation. You have to write such makefile:
