Why I can't compile a simple netfilter hook module?

I'm using this Makefile:

*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*


The hello.c is this:

*#include <linux/kernel.h>
#include <linux/module.h>
#include <linux/netfilter.h>
#include <linux/netfilter_ipv4.h>

static struct nf_hook_ops nfho;         //struct holding set of hook
function options

//function to be called by hook
unsigned int hook_func(unsigned int hooknum, struct sk_buff **skb, const
struct net_device *in, const struct net_device *out, int (*okfn)(struct
sk_buff *))
{
 printk(KERN_INFO "packet dropped\n");
        //log to var/log/messages
 return NF_DROP;
        //drops the packet
}

//Called when module loaded using 'insmod'
int init_module()
{
 nfho.hook = hook_func;                       //function to call when
conditions below met
 nfho.hooknum = NF_IP_PRE_ROUTING;            //called right after packet
recieved, first hook in Netfilter
 nfho.pf = PF_INET;                           //IPV4 packets
 nfho.priority = NF_IP_PRI_FIRST;             //set to highest priority
over all other hook functions
 nf_register_hook(&nfho);                     //register hook

 return 0;                                    //return 0 for success
}

//Called when module unloaded using 'rmmod'
void cleanup_module()
{
 nf_unregister_hook(&nfho);                     //cleanup – unregister hook
}*


Here are the error message:
