Fwd: problem with external module Makefile linux kernel 2.6

[Nobin Mathew]

Hi,


I am having a strange problem with external module Makefile, with
wildcard and patsubst it is giving issue. but without those it is
working fine.



See the logs for further info. I serached in google, any idea why this
happens. if this is a known issue (or wrong coding) send me a link
expalining why this is happening.



I can see wildcard and patsubst used in core KBUILD Makefiles



[root@RHEL5U3-DL580G4 new]# ls

Makefile  sdirac1.c  sdirac1.h  sdirac2.c  sdirac2.h  sdirac3.c  sdirac3.h

[root@RHEL5U3-DL580G4 new]# cat Makefile

obj-m := dirac.o

dirac-objs = $(patsubst %.c,%.ko,$(wildcard , *.c))

#dirac-objs = sdirac1.o sdirac2.o sdirac3.o



KDIR := /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build





all:

        echo $(dirac-objs)

        make -C $(KDIR) M=`pwd` modules

[root@RHEL5U3-DL580G4 new]# make

echo sdirac1.ko sdirac2.ko sdirac3.ko

sdirac1.ko sdirac2.ko sdirac3.ko

make -C /lib/modules/2.6.18-128.el5PAE/build M=`pwd` modules

[root@RHEL5U3-DL580G4 new]# vim Makefile

####I changed the Makefile Here ######
