Documentation/kbuild very much gives you a FULLY standardized way of doing this. On all distributions. The only tricky part is finding the build tree, for the current kernel that is /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build (as per Linus' decree from like 4 to 5 years ago) for non-current kernels that's a bit more complex, so just ask the user. Once you have that the rest comes for free. - 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/ | ||||||||||
