Compile error when compiling a driver using Makefile - makefile

When I try to compile the hello.c as a driver component, I got an error as follows:
root#ubuntu:/home/steven/Downloads# make
make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=/home/steven/Downloads modules
make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-4.15.0-29-generic'
CC [M] /home/steven/Downloads/hello.o
**cc1: error: code model kernel does not support PIC mode**

make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-4.15.0-29-generic'
Makefile:13: recipe for target 'modules' failed
make: *** [modules] Error 2
My Makefile is as follows:
ifneq ($(KERNELRELEASE),)
MODULE_NAME = hellomodule
$(MODULE_NAME)-objs := hello.o
obj-m := $(MODULE_NAME).o
else
KERNEL_DIR = /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build
MODULEDIR := $(shell pwd)
.PHONY: modules
default: modules
modules:
make -C $(KERNEL_DIR) M=$(MODULEDIR) modules
clean distclean:
rm -f *.o *.mod.c .*.*.cmd *.ko
rm -rf .tmp_versions
endif
Can anybody help me to solve this problem?

make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'sim'. Stop

Below is my Makefile:
SIM ?= icarus
TOPLEVEL_LANG ?= verilog
VERILOG_SOURCES += $(PWD)/../hdl/dut.v
VERILOG_SOURCES += $(PWD)/wrappers/ifc_test.v
intr:
rm -rf sim_build
$(MAKE) sim MODULE=ifc_test TOPLEVEL=ifc_test
include $(shell cocotb-config --makefiles)/Makefile.sim
But while trying to run, I'm getting the error as:
make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'sim'. Stop.

Cross compiling hello world module

I am trying to cross compile a simple hello world program. The cross compiler I am using is for Buildroot Linux on a RPI4. I am trying to do the compilation on my Ubuntu machine.
I get this error:
make[2]: *** No rule to make target '/home/j_sizzle/Documents/Lab11-2/hello1.o', needed by '/home/j_sizzle/Documents/Lab11-2/hello1.mod'. Stop.
make[1]: *** [Makefile:1825: /home/j_sizzle/Documents/Lab11-2] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/j_sizzle/Documents/buildroot/buildroot-2021.11.1-rpi/output/build/linux-custom'
make: *** [Makefile:7: default] Error 2
My Makefile looks like this:
obj-m += hello1.o
KDIR := /home/j_sizzle/Documents/buildroot/buildroot-2021.11.1-rpi/output/build/linux-custom/
PWD := $(shell pwd)
default:
$(MAKE) -C $(KDIR) KBUILD_EXTMOD=$(PWD) ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/home/j_sizzle/Documents/buildroot/buildroot-2021.11.1-rpi/output/host/bin/arm-buildroot-linux-uclibcgnueabihf- modules
clean:
$(MAKE) -C $(KDIR) KBUILD_EXTMOD=$(PWD) clean
rm -f *~cd
I'm not really sure what I need to do here and I am somewhat new to makefiles so sorry if I am doing something dumb. I do know that this cross compiler works when just compiling a c program, but this is my first time trying to use it for modules.

and all the environment variables of PETSC is set.
the configure of PETSC is done with the command:
./configure --with-cc=gcc --with-fc=gfortran --download-mpich --download-fblaslapack --download-cmake --download-metis --with-debugging=0
So, what's wrong?
make variable FLINKER is either not defined, or is defined but has the empty string value
You need to first set the PETSC_DIR variable. E.g., in BASH do:
export PETSC_DIR=/home/user/petsc
followed by
make all
Alternatively, you can do:
make all PETSC_DIR=/home/user/petsc

lack of the file (cholrl.a) during make

I install Lapack-3.6.1 on Ubutun.There is a problem during make, lack of the file (cholrl.a). The error message is this.

Do you have a solution?
Creating LIB directory myself worked for me. So, type mkdir LIB in SRC/VARIANTS.

Try to build tutorial for linux device driver

i am trying to learn how to write device driver on linux. I have looked at several online tutorials. They are simple enough but I have problem compiling it. I got a makefile error at the bottom. I have not done anything to the linux-header-2.6.32-27-generic. It is in the state that it was installed. It may be that it has some dependencies but I have no ideas which one. I am not sure what make is expecting.
I would appreciate any help.
Here is my system info.

In the first Makefile, observe the make command that is being executed in the output when you run sudo make (generally sudo is not required to build the modules) :
make make -C /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-27-generic M=pwd modules
In this case, make is searching for a target named 'make'! Remove the $(MAKE) from the Makefile and try. And also M=pwd option is incorrect!
In the second case, the PWD variable isn't defined. You can define it in the Makefile something like this :
PWD := $(shell pwd)
