    Hi all,

    I was trying to compile a kernel module with kbuild. The module 'test.c'
    include a header file 'fred.h' and there is a "#include <stdio.h>" in
    'fred.h'.

    Makefile looks like:

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    ifneq ($(KERNELRELEASE),)
    obj-m := test.o

    else
    KDIR := /usr/src/linux
    PWD := $(shell pwd)

    default:
            $(MAKE) -C $(KDIR) SUBDIRS=$(PWD) modules
            

    clean:
            rm -f *.o *.ko *.mod.c *.mod.o \
            .test.o.cmd .test.ko.cmd .test.mod.o.cmd
            rm -rf .tmp_versions
    endif

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------
    But upon compiling, there would be errors like this:
    In file included from /home/lei/test.c:49:
    /home/lei/fred.h:4:19: stdio.h: No such file or directory

    and a lot of undeclared names follow which I assume is from stdio.h.

    Could anyone point out what's wrong here?

    TIA!

    Lei
