problems compiling kernel module

[Fernando Barsoba]

Hi,

I am really stuck with this thing.. For couple of days i have been 
trying to compile a kernel module. I have been following the info in 
http://www.faqs.org/docs/kernel/x204.html. But no success... i 
recompiled the latest kernel version, and i think i trying to compile 
the module against the source code for that kernel.. however, strange 
errors appear.

Please any help will be appreciated.

Here's the error:

Code:

[fbarsoba@localhost ~]$ cd workspace/kernel_tests/
[fbarsoba@localhost kernel_tests]$ make

-Wmissing-prototypes -isystem /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include -c

And here are the files:

Code:

/* hello-1.c - The simplest kernel module.
*/ #include <linux/module.h> /* Needed by all modules
*/ #include <linux/kernel.h> /* Needed for KERN_ALERT */

int init_module(void) {

failed; module can't be loaded.
return 0;
}

void cleanup_module(void) {
printk(KERN_ALERT "Goodbye world 1.\n");
}


Code:
