I am going to write a Hello World module in Ubuntu 10.10 (with the kernel 2.6.35-28-generic). Headers are located:
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.35-28-generic
hello.c:
#include <linux/kernel.h>
#include <linux/module.h>
int init_module(void)
{
printk("Hello, world\n");
return 0;
}
void cleanup_module(void)
{
printk("Goodbye\n");
}
and Makefile:
CC = gcc
CFLAGS = -Wall -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__
hello.o: hello.c
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c hello.c
echo insmod hello.o to install
echo rmmod to delete
There is an error while make:
hello.c:1: fatal error: linux/kernel.h : No such file or directory compilation terminated.
How do I solve this?
#include <linux/kernel.h>
because of I had just copied the code from HTML page with the simple driver example. The second problem is solved by an answer I marked as solution. Check the link you have create is valid and follows to the right path, check if the path /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r) exists. – user663896
