Trouble compiling out of tree kernel module in 12.04

[Santanu Chatterjee]

Hello Everybody,

I was trying to compile a simple hello world kind of kernel module. I
installed the relevant linux-headers package, linked my
/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build to point to the linux-headers
directory. But when I try to run make, I get the following error:

-------------------
make -C /lib/modules/3.2.0-32-generic-pae/build modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-3.2.0-32-generic-pae'
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `arch/x86/tools/relocs.c', needed
by `arch/x86/tools/relocs'.  Stop.
make[1]: *** [archscripts] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-3.2.0-32-generic-pae'
make: *** [all] Error 2
--------------------

I am attaching my hello.c and Makefile in case anyone wants to take a look.

Can anyone tell me what am I missing? (I have tried 'make' with sudo
and without sudo, just in case... but no luck)

Regards,
Santanu
