lets say you have a module named shiyao.c the makefile will look similar to: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- obj-m += shiyao.o KERNELDIR ?= /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build PWD := $(shell pwd) all: $(MAKE) -C $(KERNELDIR) M=$(PWD) clean: $(MAKE) -C $(KERNELDIR) M=$(PWD) clean ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- change the target all to: all: $(MAKE) -C $(KERNELDIR) M=$(PWD) *shiyao.i* run make as usual then open shiyao.i in vi(m) or your preferred editor - done !
