Subject: [Patch] module compilation infrastructure
Date: Mon, 17 Apr 2000 23:46:38 +0200
From: Olaf Titz <olaf@bigred.inka.de>
Hi Linus,
please consider the following patch (against 2.3.99-pre3) or a similar
thing for inclusion into the kernel. It fixes the long-standing
problem of finding out the right compiler options to compile external
modules.
This patch causes "make dep" to write a makefile fragment which can be
included from a module makefile. Documentation (a little) included.
Olaf

+To compile external modules, you need the include tree of a configured
+kernel (after doing at least "make dep").
+
+Set up a Makefile in the module's directory which contains at least
+these lines:
+
+ # Object files which make up the module: without exported symbols
+ M_OBJS=foo.o bar.o
+ # ...and with exported symbols
+ MX_OBJS=fred.o
+ # Target into which the .o files are linked
+ M_TARGET=squish.o
+
+ # set this to your kernel include directory
+ KINCDIR=/var/export/src/linux-2.3.99-pre3/include
+ include $(KINCDIR)/config/module.mak
+
+
+Then you can do... to do...
+
+make dep update the ksym tables if needed,
+ generate a dependencies file
+make modules compile the objects and link them into a module
+make modules_install install the module into its final location
+make clean to clean up everything
+
+The module Makefile can define other variables, such as:
+
+EXTRA_CFLAGS additional CFLAGS for all objects
+CFLAGS_foo.o additional CFLAGS for foo.o
+PRE_CFLAGS additional CFLAGS for all objects, set first on
+ CC command line
+INSTALL_MOD_PATH module installation root (default /)
