[ziflinger]

Hey, im building a kernel module and for some reason after a few times that it worked i get the following error:

"cc1: error: code model kernel does not support PIC mode."

Can you paste the contents of Makefile at paste.ubuntu.com and post a link?

[ziflinger]

its the simplest module ever:


obj-m += x.o

all:
make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(PWD) modules

clean:
make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(PWD) modules

What kernel and Ubuntu version? Also check

cat /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r)/Makefile | grep -i pie
