Compiling Kernel Module in ICS

[venkatramangurr]

Hi All,

I am currently trying to compile kernel module for a local echo driver in ICS. I got success while trying the same in GB but doing so in ICS the echo driver is not get compiled to KO object

I got below errors while compiling

make circular .so - .so dependency dropped in android

#build/core/main.mk:537: *** Some files have been added to ALL_PREBUILT.

#build/core/main.mk:538: *

#build/core/main.mk:539: * ALL_PREBUILT is a deprecated mechanism that

#build/core/main.mk:540: * should not be used for new files.

#build/core/main.mk:541: * As an alternative, use PRODUCT_COPY_FILES in

#build/core/main.mk:542: * the appropriate product definition.

#build/core/main.mk:543: * build/target/product/core.mk is the product

#build/core/main.mk:547: *

#build/core/main.mk:548: *** ALL_PREBUILT contains unexpected files.  Stop.

I know that the problem is in Android.mk of the echo driver source, So please guide me on making make file in ICS

Looking forward for your guidlines....

Regards

I am not sure if you modified ALL_PREBUILT table for your error message.

You can refer to "system/wlan/atheros". It's WiFi module, and built as KO format.
