Linux/module.h:no such file or directory kernel module compilation process

1. Missing Linux kernel header file

To install just the headers in Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$ (uname-r)

To install the entire Linux kernel source in Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install Linux-source

Note that your should use the kernel headers, the match the kernel you is running.

2. Kernel Module Compilation process Ubuntu

Source:

**/*source file name is BASIC.C */** #include <linux/init.h> #include <linux/module.h> /*module_license ("Dual BSD/GPL"); * * static int hello_init (void) { PRINTK (Kern_alert "Hello, world\n"); return 0; } static void Hello_exit (void) { PRINTK (Kern_alert "Goodbye, cruel world\n"); } Module_init (Hello_init); Module_exit (Hello_exit);

Makefile file

/*at first type on ur terminal that $ ( UNAME-R) then u'll get the version. That was using on the UR system */ obj-m + = BASIC.O all: $ (Make)-C $ (Kdir) subdirs=$ (PWD) Modules RM-RF *.o *.ko *.mod.* *.symvers *.order

Kernel modules run:

$sudo Insmode Basic.ko $DMESG ==> u'll get the output $sudo Rmmod Basic.ko $dmesg
