my ordeal with module.h - SOLUTIONS !!

so here we go on with our story , the other day when i was working on CentOS i opened Kdevelop ( an IDE for programming ) , and started a new project under the 'C --> Kernel module ' and it gave me a sample kernel module , very similar to the one i had earlier written , i just executed the program ( in other words compiled it ) , it finished succesfully , i was confused at first , ...... then i looked at what was going on behind the curtains of Kdevelop , i jumped into the directory Kdevelop had created for the kernel module , btw make is a wondeerful utility which comes very handy when managing large projects ,...... and checked the 'Makefile '( the configuration file used by make ) that had been used to Kdevelop for compiling and installing the module , the makefile was using the includes from the kernel source directory and was starting a submake in that directory which was in turn compiling my module , ........ i will post the details of the 'Makefile' and some stuff on GNU 'make' soon , but i am finally happy i am able to compile my modules !!!!!

Was history ! :)

This blog represents a part of my undergraduate life when I was extremely active. The blog contains about 59 posts and excluding the previous one all the others were written in a span of 6 months ranging from Jan 2008 - June 2008. Which just tells how active I was in those days, and these were times when the Wi-Fi at campus was still in the planning phase and I was using internet over my GPRS enabled ancient Nokia 7610 (using wvdial + rfcomm over bluetooth). So it used to take like 10 minutes to update a post once written. But still never after that period have I written so much. Feels good to think about the intense work I did during the second year which looks simple now, but played an integral role in making me what I am today (if I am something !) !.

beginning again

Its been some time since I stopped writing here because I had my own site running drupal at http://satish.playdrupal.com, but today something happened which will work to change my life in the coming years. Whether for the good or bad, things after today will be in a new chapter in my life ,and as a resolution I have decided this blog and write stuff onto its pages, so those of you who have visited this blog and left in disappointment may not need to do so anymore. I will follow this post with a series of posts on using Linux for the common user.
