compiling errors

[immortal1015]

I tried to compile the very simple kernel module code as following.
I compile this code using gcc -c hello.c, but gcc tell me:
 /usr/include/linux	/module.h:60 parse error before 'atomic_t'

What is the error? My gcc version is 2.96.

you are using glibc headers to compile kernel code....

add -I/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include
to the gcc flags

Works here. You may have to always used -O2 to get in-lines to
work correctly.
