Proper method for building kernel modules? [solved]

I am attempting to build a custom kernel module for a PCI express interface to an FPGA. However, I seem to be running into some issues with getting the standard kernel module makefile to work correctly. Here is my makefile:
# object files to build
obj-m += nnic.o
nic-objs += nnic_driver.o
all:
make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(pwd) modules
clean:
make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(pwd) clean
However, the first time I ran 'make', I got this output:
make -C /lib/modules/3.14.1-1-ARCH/build M= modules
make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/lib/modules/3.14.1-1-ARCH/build'

Makefile:7: recipe for target 'all' failed
make: *** [all] Error 2
After poking around online, I decided to try running make as root. I got the following output:
make -C /lib/modules/3.14.1-1-ARCH/build M= modules
make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/lib/modules/3.14.1-1-ARCH/build'

Makefile:7: recipe for target 'all' failed

Now, when runing 'make' as a normal user, I get:
make -C /lib/modules/3.14.1-1-ARCH/build M= modules
make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/lib/modules/3.14.1-1-ARCH/build'

I have the linux-headers package installed. I do not need to build the whole kernel, only this small module. What am I missing here? What is the correct procedure for this?

Sigh, found the problem. Should be $(PWD) and not $(pwd) in my makefile.

Replace function not working for XML CLOB data

Hi all,
I am generating XML using DBMS_XMLGEN in oracle 10g. After generating the XML, I am replacing the ROW tags with appropriate tag name using REPLACE function. Sometimes the tag name is not replaced correctly.
Eg.I am replacing </Cargo_ROW> with </CargoDetail>. But sometimes in one xml, this tag is coming as </CargoDetROW> or </CargoDetaiW>. The XML size is always huge and the same tag is repeated so many time in the loop and in the same XML, only one tag will be replaced incorrectly. This also not happening for all XMLs.
If any one knows the cause about this problem or solution, please share the same.
thanks,

Yes Anton, you are right..
It was typecasting problem

Bapis, Functions or Methods for Down Payment F-47

Hi masters
I am creating a webdynpro application to display, release and reject Down Payment like F-47 transactions.
Please give me the Bapis, Functions or Methods to display details of some document, release and reject.
No answers will be awarded.

Hi Raj,
Please check with your workflow consultant. Anyway, I'd like to share with you how to know whether there is a standard workflow for application component in question. T-Code SWDD -> Workflow -. Other Workflow/Version. Then drilldown on the task field. Then choose structure search. You will find the standard workflow for each of the component. Unfortunately, there is no standard workflow for downpayment but if you have workflow consultant, they may be able to help.

REPLACE function in PSP for formatting

Hi everyone,
I am coding PL/SQL server pages at the moment and am trying to produce an onscreen report.
 I was just wondering if it is possible to use the REPLACE function to replace a part of a string with the same thing but in bold?
for example, I have tried:

htp.p('<TD WIDTH="43%" valign="top" align="left">'||REPLACE(var_comments,'''TEST''',||'TEST'||')'||'</TD>'); but it isn't working. I just wanted to check it was possible and if so, where am I going wrong??

Thanks in advance!

This will work:
htp.p('<TD WIDTH="43%" valign="top" align="left">'||REPLACE(var_comments,'''TEST''',||'TEST'||')'||'</TD>');I also suggest generating your table HTML using the htp.table... procedures.

Function Module/Method for opening path on frontend

Hi,
I am looking for an function module or a method of a class which can be used for opening (in windows) an explorer-window with a given path.
I don't wanna select any files of directories there, only opening the windows and processing the normal logic of the application.
Can you give me any hints how to do that?
Kind regards
Markus

Sample Code:
data : file_table like table of SDOKPATH with header line .
data : dir_table like table of SDOKPATH with header line .
data : file_count type i ,
dircount type i .
parameters:p_dir(50) type c.
CALL FUNCTION 'TMP_GUI_DIRECTORY_LIST_FILES'
EXPORTING
DIRECTORY = p_dir
FILTER = '*.TXT'
IMPORTING
FILE_COUNT = file_count
DIR_COUNT = dircount
TABLES
FILE_TABLE = file_table
DIR_TABLE = dir_table
EXCEPTIONS
CNTL_ERROR = 1
OTHERS = 2.
write:/ 'no of files in the floder is : ', file_count .
skip 32.
loop at file_table .
write:/ file_table-PATHNAME.
endloop.

TIme capsule replaces Airport Express - method for success

I just got a 1TB timecapsule to replace an airport-express as our home wireless internet router - as well as keeping data backed up.
a couple of questions for those who may have successfully done this:
what is the best process to swap out airport express function with Time Capsule?
- (the apple manual assumes too many things go well and provides little detail on actual steps).
- if both devices are on to copy info from AP Express to Time Capsule, I end up with an IP conflict (each wanting to be 10.0.1.1) and I only see one at a time -- one on my home network, the other on the Time Capsule's default MAC-id based network.
- also, the Time Capsule tells me that I should update the firmware. except, since it's not hooked to the internet yet (not configured) it can't actually complete this step....how's that supposed to work?
suggestions, links to the right article in the apple site?
thanks

Hi
I never had very good luck with saving configurations and re-importing on my current Airport menagerie -- so I hadn't gone this route (also figured the two things would be incompatible).
However, I did just as you suggested and the Time Capsule imported the Express configuration readily, and aside from having to change a couple of security settings, rebooted fine.
For some reason, then the Time Capsule started working just like the Air Port Express. But, when I changed the name of the TC from Express back to something 'Time Capsule' and restarted - it was back to the old unresponsive way it was.
- so I went through this re-importing exercise several times.
When things finally stabilized, I noticed that the TC had some ups and downs with my ISP in getting an IP assigned. THis could have been from the ISP acting up the last week or so...or maybe the software?
But in the end - Time Capsule is up running and backing me up wirelessly.
Next trick is to add the Airport Express back into the network so we can stream some iTunes.
Thanks for the idea.
Oh - I guess this might also be of note - I hardwired the TC up to the iMac so I could continue the Time Machine back ups while I figured out the networking issues -- and it went ahead and updated it's firmware. Not sure if that helped or hindered so far - but it's running 7.4.2 now and I'm writing this reply via the TC.

GUI_Download funtion module problem

HI All,
I am Using GUI_Download funtion module for downloading data from internal table to flat file. But one of the field is having the value ОАО "САН Интербрю Украина"
After downloading data, the letters are being replaced by # in the download.
If any one know please let me as early as possible.
Thanks in advance.....
Satish

Check the sap documentation for the funtion module(Especially for CODE page)
Character Representation for Output
Description
Use parameter CODEPAGE to specify the desired target codepage. If this
    parameter is not set, the codepage of the SAP GUI is used as the target
    codepage.
Value range
4-digit number of the SAP codepage. Function module
    SCP_CODEPAGE_BY_EXTERNAL_NAME returns the SAP codepage number for an
    external character set name such as "iso-8859-1". Function module
    NLS_GET_FRONTEND_CP returns the related non-Unicode frontend codepage
    for a language.
You can specify the desired codepage interactively, if the parameter
    with_encoding of method file_save_dialog is set by
    cl_gui_frontend_services.
SPACE: Codepage of the frontend operating system.

Ravi

Replacements for obsolete function modules

Hi,
What is the best way to find out the replacement for the obsolete function modules? We are starting an upgrade project and are required to replace the obsolete function modules used in that. So before starting that I want to keep a list of obsolete function modules and their replacements ready.
SS

Hi,
RODIR table gives not only FM, all obsoletes types.
if you dont find, best way is when we check EPC for the program,
in call function interface warnings shows, obsolete function modules.
or do UCCHECK it will both obsolete and suggested replacements.

Definition/Explanation for "obsolete" (for function modules) / unicode?

Hi,
I did not find any definition from SAP regarding obsolete function modules, what does SAP mean with obsolete in this context? Is this only relevant for customers which are also switching to unicode enabled systems? Do I have to replace this fm's when we are not switching to unicode during the upgrade?
Thanks&regards, Dietmar Unger

Edited by: Dietmar Unger on Mar 10, 2008 4:03 PM

Hello Dietmar,
my understanding of obsolete function modules is, that they
- are not supported by SAP any longer
- no new functionality will be implemented
- somtimes doesn't work (I've used a function module, that becomes obsolete with a hot package upgrade, which causes a dump, to inform the user of this fm, that it has become obsolete)
We're in an upgrade from 4.6B to ECC6.0 and we have identified some function modules, marked as obsolete. Until know we have not decided, how to proceed with them, but I think, we will replace them by newer ones (even, if it's not mandatory to replace them, when it works, as expected).
Best regards
Stephan
