Subject: 2.6.29-rcx triviality - How to have foo.ko module with same name as foo.c source file
Date: Sun, 15 Mar 2009 12:05:42 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <49BCD2F6.6030903@panasas.com> (raw)
Since sometime in the 2.6.29-rc I'm no longer able to produce an
out-of-tree module that has the same base-name as a source file.
This is what I had in 2.6.28:
<Kbuild>
obj-m += foo.o
</Kbuild>
Where foo.c is a source file in the same directory.
But since 2.6.29-rcx it will no longer build my foo.ko module. I
had to change it to:
<Kbuild>
foo_mod-y = foo.o
obj-m += foo_mod.o
</Kbuild>
Which changed my module name in scripts and packages.
[Q]
Is it possible to build a module with exact same base-name as it's single
source file?
P.S:
Just asking I realized that I can just add an "mv ..." command to my make file.
But is this expected behaviour?
Thanks in advance
Boaz
