I need to build a module from source. I have the source file but the only Makefiles included with the source are for Redhat and Mandrake. If I use the RH Makefile the build fails with voluminous errors. If I use the MD file it completes a build but with some warnings and I have not gotten the resulting module to work, though it does load with insmod and modprobe. Is there a down-and-not-so-dirty way to build the module for my kernel without taking several college programming courses? I am using 8.2 with athlon kernel. My trusty old copy of Running Linux has several pages on makefiles but it seems to assume that I also would know what should be in the makefile and what the make command is looking for, and then helps me with syntax. The source files include x.h and x.c files and Makefiles for RH and MD, as I said. Can this be done by a human being (me) or do I have to search out an etherial linux programmer? Thanks for any suggestions. Richard
