Hi Chew, I'm a newbie in linux/android and Im having some problems to compile the my module. i dowloaded the android-goldfish-2.6.29 snapshot and the android plataform. Compiled the kernel with your instructions to ARCH and CROSS_COMPILE and have no problem, but when i try to compile the module it givesthe error: - entering directory /home/acker/goldfish/kernel - no rule to process the target "modules"
any idea of what i did wrong? thanks for the help, Eduardo Acker 2009/10/29 Chew Esmero <chew.esm...@gmail.com> > > Yes, it is possible.
