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 !
