building external library under 2.6

[Frederic Dumoulin <frederic_dumoulin@eve-team.com>]

Hi,

I succeeded to build an externel module under 2.6 with the following Makefile:

ifneq ($(KERNELRELEASE),)
obj-m		:= testKernel.o
testKernel-objs	:= $(OBJS)
else
KDIR		:= /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build
PWD		:= $(shell pwd)
testKernel.ko :
	$(MAKE) -C $(KDIR) M=$(PWD) modules
endif



I made modifications in order to build a library:

ifneq ($(KERNELRELEASE),)
lib-y		:= $(OBJS)
else
KDIR		:= /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build
PWD		:= $(shell pwd)
lib.a :
	$(MAKE) -C $(KDIR) M=$(PWD) modules
endif

I've just the following output:

make -C /lib/modules/2.6.8.1/build M=xxx/testKernel modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.8.1'
   Building modules, stage 2.
   MODPOST
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.8.1'

I've got neither .o nor .a files

What's wrong?
