Problem in compiling a device driver program

[p.arun]

Hi All,

I'm a new aspiring device driver programming learner. I have downloaded scull source code ( of Alessandro Rubini: linux device drivers third edition )
While I run make command, I get following error


[parun@tunnel scull]$ make
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6/build M=/home/parun/Desktop/examples/scull LDDINC=/home/parun/Desktop/examples/scull/../include modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6-i586'
CC [M] /home/parun/Desktop/examples/scull/main.o
/home/parun/Desktop/examples/scull/main.c:17:26: error: linux/config.h: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [/home/parun/Desktop/examples/scull/main.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [_module_/home/parun/Desktop/examples/scull] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6-i586'
make: *** [modules] Error 2

As per my understanding, the main.c program refers a header file linux/config.h .But there was no config.h in linux source codes header directory.Is it the mistake of the scull code??

Reply me, if you find any clues

thanks and regards,
Arun

well, linux/config.h has been removed from kernel version > 2.6.16 (i guess.. dont remember the exact kernel version..) linux/config.h is not _THAT_ significant.. you can remove that file from your source code or just do "touch linux/config.h" and create a blank config.h file.. hope this helps
