i am trying to learn module programmimg

The Linux Kernel Module Programming Guide
Peter Jay Salzman
Ori Pomerantz is the online book iam using..


well .. the prob is that i cant load the first programmin eg ..

i am getting the error message " kernel module version mismatch "

here is the make file

TARGET := hello-1
WARN := -W -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes
INCLUDE := -isystem /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include
CFLAGS := -O2 -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ ${WARN} ${INCLUDE}
CC := gcc-3.0

${TARGET}.o: ${TARGET}.c

.PHONY: clean

clean:
rm -rf {TARGET}.o

what should i do ?

try to set your "uname -r" to the exact name of that directory.

sl mritch.

no.. thats not working

This goes outside my narrow area of expertise, but it sounds to me that you are using a popular online book to learn module programming. In this kind of cases it is usual that also many others have had similar problem than you, so a google search (perhaps with the received error message) should quickly produce useful results.

thanx parrot.. but i reached here.. through.. google while searching

No offence meant. You do know that there's a special forum here at LinuxQuestions.org dedicated to programming problems, don't you?

Moved: This thread is more suitable in Programming and has been moved accordingly to help your thread/question get the exposure it deserves.

And please use more descriptive thread titles - "h" tells us nothing at all about the problem you are having.

A link to the new thread would have been nice..
Edit: .. ah, it is already in programming now..


Well, to the subject.

That
INCLUDE := -isystem /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include
line looks suspective. I think there is an -I missing in front of the /lib/modules/... path.
