Greetings;
I found some code I can play with/hack/etc, in the form of a loadable module and some testing driver programs, in 'dpci8255.tar.gz'.
Unforch its for a slightly different card than the one I have, and once I've hacked the code to suit, I need to rebuild it.
So whats the gcc command line to make just a bare, loadable module for say a 2.4.25 kernel? Obviously I'm missing something when it complains and quits, claiming there is no 'main' defined, which I don't think modules actually have one of those?
What I'm trying to do (hey, no big dummy jokes please :)
[root@coyote dist]# cc -o dpci8255.o dpci8255lib.c /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.3.3/../../../crt1.o(.text+0x18): In function `_start': : undefined reference to `main' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
The gcc manpage isn't that helpfull and I've now read thru it twice.
