unresolved: htonl(), htons(), __memcpy3d

[Mike Brown <mbrown@cs.uml.edu>]

Hello,

The below file contains a few trivial modifications to hello.c from the
The Linux Kernel Module Programming Guide but the example shows my
problem.  I'm running linux-2.4.2, gcc 2.95.2.  Here's the output from
gcc:

gcc -Wall -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -DLINUX -c testprog.c -I/usr/src/linux/include
testprog.c: In function `init_module':
testprog.c:20: warning: implicit declaration of function
`printk_R1b7d4074'
testprog.c:16: warning: unused variable `tmp2'
testprog.c:15: warning: unused variable `tmp1'

A few warnings, no big deal.  However when I load the module i get:

insmod ./testprog.o
./testprog.o: unresolved symbol htonl
./testprog.o: unresolved symbol htons
./testprog.o: unresolved symbol __memcpy3d

I'm using memcpy() which is declared in linux/string.h and I'm including
linux/byteorder/generic.h which is supposed to #define htonl() and company
as macros.  Any insight to what I'm doing wrong here would be helpful.
Thanks.

  memcpy (buf1, buf2, strlen (buf1) + 1);

  return 0;
}

void cleanup_module()

  printk("Short is the life of a kernel module\n");
}
