Can't build loadable module for 2.6.kernel

[Carlos Munoz]

Hi all,

I hope this is the right forum for this question.

I'm trying to build a loadable module for a telephony card that includes 
several files. Some of the files are source files (written by me) and 
some are object files (provided by the chip vendor). I'm unable to link 
the vendor object files with the target.

Make displays the following error:
make[4]: *** No rule to make target 
`drivers/telephony/mrvphone/apicnt.s', needed by 
`drivers/telephony/mrvphone/apicnt.o'.  Stop.

The makefile has the following rule to build apicnt.o:
apicnt.o: apicnt.o.shipped
   cp apicnt.o.shipped apicnt.o

I have also included the whole Makefile with this email.

Thanks in advance,


Carlos Munoz
