    Question A general build problem

    I need to build a kernel driver from next-20100415 source tree, but ended up
    getting built-in.o and ***.o files in driver directory.

    (1) How to convert the .o file to .ko file and install on the system ?
    (2) Is there any short cut to build the driver only without building the
    whole source tree ?

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    A look at the Makefile would help.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
