1. Using SUBDIRS= is still supported, but the new and prefered
   syntax for what you want is M=
2. It looks like your real error (unless you happen to use
   csh/tcsh), is writing $pwd (lower case) instead of $PWD.

[Haifux] biulding drivers on linux2.6

[yakoub abaya]

i don't understand how to build a simple driver i wrote
i looked into  linux/Documentation/kbuild and read about makefile rules
but what make command do i issue ?
i tried :
   make  -C  /usr/src/linux SUBDIRS=$pwd modules
that is what is explained in the docs ,
but this command started building all kernel modules
since -C flag is given ,
which puzzles me why the Documentatin instructed to
issue such command when all i need is build only my module
i tried :
 make module_name
where my makefile is : obj-m :=module_name.o
but that gave errors about
: undefined reference to `printk'
