No. It should be enough to have run "make modules_prepare".

For me, it works with:
make -C <path to kernel src> SUBDIRS=<path to module source> modules # Builds make -C <path to kernel src> SUBDIRS=<path to module source> modules_install # Installs
Besides, IMHO this belongs in Documentation/kbuild/modules.txt. -- Dr. Horst H. von Brand User #22616 counter.li.org Departamento de Informatica Fono: +56 32 654431 Universidad Tecnica Federico Santa Maria +56 32 654239 Casilla 110-V, Valparaiso, Chile Fax: +56 32 797513 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
