     5         kx How to Build External Modules
     5         kx -----------------------------
     5         kx 
     5         kx To build external modules, you must have a prebuilt kernel available that contains
     5         kx the configuration and header files used in the build. Also, the kernel must have been
     5         kx built with modules enabled.
     5         kx 
     5         kx Radix cross Linux provides a 'kernel-source' package installed here.
     5         kx 
     5         kx This kernel source not ready for build modules out-of-tree because Radix cross Linux
     5         kx provides only cross-compiled packages.
     5         kx 
     5         kx To prepare kernel source you have to do following:
     5         kx 
     5         kx     $ cd /usr/src/@KERNEL_SOURCE@
     5         kx     $ make oldconfig
     5         kx     $ make modules_prepare
     5         kx 
     5         kx  If you are using a Radix cross Linux distribution kernel,
     5         kx there will be a 'kernel-source' package for the kernel you are running provided by
     5         kx Radix cross Linux distribution.
     5         kx 
     5         kx This will make sure the kernel contains the information required. The target exists
     5         kx solely as a simple way to prepare a kernel source tree for building external modules.
     5         kx 
     5         kx NOTE: 'modules_prepare' will not build Module.symvers even if CONFIG_MODVERSIONS is set;
     5         kx therefore, a full kernel build needs to be executed to make module versioning work.

     5         kx Command Syntax
     5         kx --------------
     5         kx 
     5         kx The command to build an external module is:
     5         kx 
     5         kx     $ make -C <path_to_kernel_src> M=$PWD
     5         kx 
     5         kx The kbuild system knows that an external module is being built due to the 'M=<dir>'
     5         kx option given in the command.
     5         kx 
     5         kx To build against the running kernel use:
     5         kx 
     5         kx     $ make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=$PWD
     5         kx 
     5         kx Then to install the module(s) just built, add the target 'modules_install' to the command:
     5         kx 
     5         kx     $ make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=$PWD modules_install
     5         kx 
     5         kx
