Exporting symbols between modules

Hi all,

I'm new in this list and I have some problems exporting symbols in a
module to see them in other module.

In the module I want to export the symbol I do:

tList list;
EXPORT_SYMBOL(list);

I compile it and install without any problem.

And in the module I want to use them I declare list with "extern"
prototype:

extern tList list;

When I compile the module It says me that list is undefined, and I don't
know what I am doing wrong.

Does anybody know what is happening?

Maybe a makefile example would be appreciated...

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Sergio

ok... you've better to use the EXPORT_SYMBOL_NOVERS macro to export the symbol whiteout the versioning information...
don't forget to define EXPORT_SYMTAB before include module.h...
you can add a -DEXPORT_SYMTAB in your Makefile or a #define EXPORT_SYMTAB before
#include in your source file...

a compilation error or a loading error ?
are you sure to have well defined the type tList in your "client" module ?
may be a shareed header between your modules is missing :)

Thanks, I solve it because it was a Makefile problem.

I was trying to compile two modules with different Makefiles. When I do
only one Makefile with

obj-m +=3D module1
obj-m +=3D module2

the problem dissapears.

Thanks to all.
