Suppose I am adding a new command,so should I create a new file for that command and modify only the command,rmk accordingly?
All the other files get autogenerated by autogen.sh ?
Is this sufficient ?

Actually, no.  Every C source file in the 'commands' directory is
currently a module itself.

I think the reason that 'hello.mod' is separated out is to make it
easier to see that there is only one source file as part of 'hello.mod'.

Yes.  Actually when you run 'make', the conf/*.mk files are regenerated
from the conf/*.rmk files if necessary, so you don't need to re-run
autogen.sh after changing .rmk files.

I was puzzled with the conf/* files at first too, and though I had to
change both, and after looking at the .mk files, I was saddened.
However, now that I know to change only the .rmk files, life is happy
and the build system is actually easy to work with.

Colin

The reason for hello to be put in a directory because it is a module and not a simple command.Understood myself

Is this somewhere documented ?
 
Why is it that hello command is put in a separate directory, while lspci is put inside the commands directory.
 
Is there a specific reason for this.

Hi,
I am quite new to grub2 anf I find some issue in make of grub2
I modify the hello module by adding a new file a.c, with a function test() in it.
I call the function test from hello entry point - grub_cmd_hello()
When I do a make, I get the error that 
test in hello is not defined
make: *** [moddep.lst] Error 1

I have modified the conf/common.mk accordingly as shown below.

Could anyone let me know whether I need to do anything more.

You don't.  The kernel use the kernel functions, user space
applications use glibc functions, the two do not mix.
