the scripts for creating Linux kernel modules

[Gentoopc]

Hello, forum... can someone tell me the sequence of GCC commands to create a Linux kernel module?
for example, I have the file

Although possibly overkilling, sys-fs/vhba package might help as a template, as it builds against current /usr/src/linux.

Thks 4 ur attention, interest & support.

I don't know. If I wanted to create a module, I'd just hook to the kernel's build system and use make M=some-pathname modules. And I bet the majority here would as well.

Build systems exist for a reason.

And you don't see the correlation? Knowledge can be acquired, but it takes time and energy, and people invest them for a goal they consider worth it.

Gentoopc, why are you trying to avoid use of make here? It makes your life simpler, and makes the details the responsibility of the kernel maintainers, rather than requiring you to know intricate details. At worst, you could make your module once using the kernel's Makefiles, make make print the commands it uses to make the module, and then adapt those in an external script.

Make make verbose when making the module using the kernel Makefile. Normally, make makes a show of the commands it runs, but the kernel Makefiles make make silent by default, so you need to make make verbose.

If you're really curioud do "man make" and read, read, read.

Or you can just run the make command, and monitor what is executing including flags, in the ps command. There's a man page for that too.
