I have recently started with Device Drivers in Linux and have made a
simple Hello world module.
My code is this
//---------------------------------------------------------
/* My first kernel Module */
#include <linux/init.h>
#include <linux/module.h>
static init my_init(void){
printk(KERN_ALERT "Hello World\n");
return 0;
}
static void my_exit(void){
printk(KERN_ALERT "asta la vista baby\n");
}
MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");
module_init(my_init);
module_exit(my_exit);
//-------------------------------------------------------------
and the makefile i am using is like this...
//-------------------------------------------------------------
all:
make -C /home/arun/Linux_Source M=`pwd`
clean:
make -C /home/arun/Linux_Source M=`pwd` clean
obj-m := Hello_World.o
//---------------------------------------------------------------------
I receive the following error on running "$make"
//---------------------------------------------------------
make -C /home/arun/Linux_Source M=`pwd`
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/arun/Linux_Source'
ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid.
include/generated/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are
missing.
Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it.
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `Device'. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/arun/Linux_Source'
make: *** [all] Error 2
//----------------------------------------------------------
PS:
The kernel Source i am using is a Copy of my Git Repository and is a
copy of the branch 3.10.25.
my system details are:
Linux linux-nwya.site 3.10.25-2.10-desktop #2 SMP PREEMPT Tue Jan 7
