How do you compile a module with gcc?

[armando86]

I'd like to how to compile a module with gcc.The module doesn't come with a makefile or anything is's just a raw .c file, I know I can do this with gcc but i don't know the flags. Any help would be greatly apprecaited.

Compiling module is the same way as compiling kernel,just invoke make modules in /usr/src/linux and you'll see the proper way with all the flags for your system copy that command and proceed to compile your module.

Eg. gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -fno-strength-reduce -m486 -malign-loops=2 -malign-jumps=2 -malign-functions=2 -DCPU=686 -DMODULE -c ip_wccp.c

This is what it looks on mine.Hope this helps.
