Hey Guys
All im trying to do here is learn about make files and how to link linux
header files stored in /usr/src/linux-headers-3.13.0-35-generic to my
program that im writing.
So far ive been getting the simplest of Kernel Modules to compile and
load in Linux but nothing useful . The moment I delve deeper I seem to
get missing header file errors when using "make".
All I want to do is write from Kernel space into user space and visa
verse. I will be dumping allocated PCI memory blocks into files.
I will also have to edit registers of the PCI to be able to make
triggers go off by setting bits high etc.
But this is just an introduction to it all and im already having trouble
compiling.
Now im not 100% sure if its missing header files but the errors is quite
large.
This is my Pastebin of the C MODULE Code :
pastebin.com/lWPBR8DJ
And here it the PASTEBIN of my MAKEFILE and its errors:
pastebin.com/ffT1F26N
ALSO...Does anybody know of a good tutorial on how to write a PCI driver
in Kernel space using kernel modules...also how to send data from and to
the module from UserSpace?

Maybe you should replace the KERNEL_DIR definition in MAKEFILE. My
suggestions:
KERNEL_DIR:=/usr/src/linux-headers-$(shell uname -r)/build
or
KERNEL_DIR:=/lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build

Hi Gustavo
I tried your suggestions.
The first line didn't work because I seem to not have a build directory
there.
And the second one did exactly the same as mine did.

Did you install the kernel source or at least the kernel headers?

Yes I did run sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname
-r) to download the necessary headers. I also ran an apt-get for source
files and it did install a whole bunch of them but Im not under the
impression that you actually need the source files as well since they
suppose to come with the OS?
The thing its complaining about... unistd_32.h appears to really be
missing. Could this be because of a 64Bit version of the OS? Maybes just
doesnt install it because its not necessary. But that wouldnt make sense
because in unistd.h the only include there is will be the unistd_32.h
and nowhere inside stands anything of #include<unistd_64.h>

No, many distributions don't come with the source files.

No, I've ran your code last night on a 64bit machine of mine and beside some
compiling errors due to wrong syntax and function declaration it was all
fine.

It seems to me, you are just missing the necessary tools from your
distribution
to do the kind of work you want to do. Try a google search on your distro
+ kernel development and you probably will find what you need. Usually what
you
must get are the linux-source, kernel-devel and kernel-tools packages.

Hopefully, that /usr/src/linux-headers directory is an exact match for
the kernel you're planning to use the module in.
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/src/linux-headers-3.13.0-35-generic/arch/x86/syscalls/syscall_32.tbl', needed by `arch/x86/syscalls/../include/generated/uapi/asm/unistd_32.h'. Stop.
That's sounding suspiciously like it's not a properly set up directory
tree suitable for building modules against....
