Well, you need the source for the kernel you're building the module for,
it needs to be configured and "make dep" must have been run (for module
versions).

(You normally can find it by looking into /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel
for the currently running kernel)

Put your module source in some directory, and add a Makefile like

        obj-m := my_module.o

        include $(TOPDIR)/Rules.make

cd into the kernel source and run

        make SUBDIRS=/path/to/your/module modules
