Problem creating external module

Altera_Forum · ‎07-18-2006

Hi!

I'm trying to build an external module, to use with insmod, and I'm getting some errors. I'm quite sure it is some type of Makefile error, but I haven't been able to find an example to follow it.

My Makefile is

TOPDIR = ..
include $(TOPDIR)/Rules.mak
PROJ_NAME = XXX_driver
INSTALL_DIR = 
SRCDIR    = $(TOPDIR)/drv
INCDIR    = $(TOPDIR)/inc
OBJ    = $(SRCDIR)/$(PROJ_NAME).o
CFLAGS    += -I$(INCDIR) -D__KERNEL__ -DCONFIG_MODVERSIONS
all: $(OBJ)
clean:
    -rm -f $(OBJ) *.

and I'm getting include errors such:

c:/altera/kits/nios2q50/bin/eclipse/plugins/com.microtronix.nios2linux.uClibc_1.4.0/include/linux/config.h:4:28: linux/autoconf.h: No such file or directory

I've seen that the linux/autoconf.h is in the build directory, but I haven't been able to include it in any correct way.

Does anybody have a working Makefile to generate external modules?

Thank you

Alex

It is sead before and I will say it again:

Developing Linux is done under Linux.

Follow the guide at the nios wiki (http://nioswiki.jot.com) and make a nice development environment under linux.

Developing a userspace program under Windoze is difficult, developing a kernel module is worse. You can simply download the binary toolchain and start programming.

Search the forum for a the Makefile. I recently posted the Makefile (and method)I always use to write my kernel modules for the NiosII.

Hope this helps!
