Linux: modpost does not build anything

Question

I am having problems getting any kernel modules to build on my machine. Whenever I build a module, modpost always says there are zero modules:

MODPOST 0 modu         


        

Answer 1

Try to remove modules string from the Makefile:

obj-m = hello.o
KVERSION = $(shell uname -r)
all:
        make -C /lib/modules/$(KVERSION)/build M=$(shell pwd) # <--
clean:
        make -C /lib/modules/$(KVERSION)/build M=$(shell pwd) clean
