Get error when try to compile the kernel module

Thang_Nguyen · April 29, 2009, 3:31am

Hi,
First I am sorry cause I sent this to another email address but I think I sent to a wrong address.

I try to compile the kernel module to run on beagleboard, but I didn’t have success.
My layout directory is:
$OEBASE = oe
/build

/conf
/hellokernel
hellokernel.bb
/files
hellokernel.c
Makefile
/openembedded
/bitbake
/tmp

This is the error I got:

I am starting working with the linux module, so I hope you help me.
Thank you for your time to read and answer my question.

In hellokernel.bb at line 12 you have

file://hellokernel.c\

You need a space between the c and the \
As it is the two lines are joined so as to read

file://hellokernel.cfile://Makefile

Thang_Nguyen · April 30, 2009, 3:00am

Thank Darus for your help.
I fix that one, then I got another error. As I understand there is something wrong with Makefile but I checked it, and I don’t sure what is the issue. I need your help.

Makefile:27: *** missing separator (did you mean TAB instead of 8

spaces?). Stop.

Good old Make is very sensitive to TABs and SPACEs. As the message says ***
missing separator (did you mean TAB instead of 8 spaces?). Stop. Most
likely you have inserted SPACEs instead of TABs in your Makefile?

You need to use TAB and not SPACEs for indenting text

Hi,
After replacing all of the space with TAB, I still get the same problem. Then I went to this folder:
/home/naruto/oe/tmp/work/beagleboard-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/hellokernel-1.0-r28. I found that there is still an old version of my Makefile in the hellokernel directory. I decided to remove all of my hellokernel-1.0-r28 and run bitbake again and I got this error:

Note: It clearly runs the command in Makefile, so why it says cannot find the makefile?

I attach here my updated Makefile

I’ve just tried to remove the tmp folder and rebuild again by bitbake hellokernel. And I got the message behind. I wonder should I use another kernel?
