Hi all,

I'm currently reading LDD the 3rd edition. Chapter 2 says that if we need for example to build module "foo.c" which is split in two other files "sub1.c" and "sub2.c", we just have to define the following Kbuild variable in the makefile:

foo-objs := sub1.o sub2.o

I suppose that 

foo-y := sub1.o sub2.o

has the same semantic ? That's not very clear to me.

Nope, not at all, stick with the "foo-objs" string instead please. That should resolve your other issues here. hope this helps, greg k-h
