Re: Insmod problems

[Tyler BIRD]

Try this

¯--------

#define MODULE

#include <linux/module.h>
int init_module(void) { printk("<1>Hello World"); return 0;}
void cleanup_module(void) {printk("<1>Goodbye cruel world\n"); }
¯---

gcc -c -D__KERNEL__ hello.c

compiled and loaded fine on my system

I think linux/module.h defines
the kernel version. Make sure that you have the kernel source headers installed under /usr/include
which is a link to /usr/src/linux/include.

you oughta put the above include/module.h at the begining of your source.

Also there has been a macro lately to
delate which routines will be init_module, cleanup_module22

I've define these two when I compile the module. The
command line is:

gcc -D_KERNEL_ -DMODULE -c hello.c
