For kernel module makefile: Use another name for the makefile and using command line parameter - makefile

Question

I have Kernel module sources (for arm) and I would like to compile two different drivers from the same source.
The kernel in compiled with 2 source files and with cross compile.
MODULE_MAME = modulename
SRCS = drv/source.c lib/libsrc.c
OBJS = $(SRCS:.c=.o)
obj-m += $(MODULE_MAME).o
$(MODULE_MAME)-y = $(OBJS)
KDIR := /mykermelsources/
PWD := $(shell pwd)
all:
$(MAKE) -C $(KDIR) ARCH=arm M=$(PWD) modules
clean:
$(MAKE) -C $(KDIR) ARCH=arm M=$(PWD) clean
In one command, I would like to compile 2 modules.
Two choices:
Keeping 3 different Makefiles, one main that will call both other makefiles. One problem with this, I cannot make it working. make -f makefilediff or make --makefile=makefilediff give me an error.
Log:
make -C /mykermelsources/ ARCH=arm M=/home/mychardriver/ modules
make[1]: Entering directory '/mykermelsources'
scripts/Makefile.build:44: /home/mychardriver/Makefile: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** No rule to make target '/home/mychardriver//Makefile'. Stop.
make[1]: *** [_module_/home/mychardriver/] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory '/mykermelsources'
make: *** [all] Error 2
Transmitting command line parameter but it doesn't work. make SIDE=1
Seems the SIDE parameter/variable is never transmitted.
ifeq ($(SIDE),1)
MODULE_MAME = modulename_11
else
MODULE_MAME = modulename_22
endif
SRCS = drv/source.c lib/libsrc.c
OBJS = $(SRCS:.c=.o)a
obj-m += $(MODULE_MAME).o
$(MODULE_MAME)-y = $(OBJS)
KDIR := /mykermelsources/
PWD := $(shell pwd)
all:
$(MAKE) -C $(KDIR) ARCH=arm M=$(PWD) SIDE=$(SIDE) modules
clean:
$(MAKE) -C $(KDIR) ARCH=arm M=$(PWD) clean
How can I build 2 kernel modules from same multiple source files ?

Just faced this issue, and this is what I did:
For each moduleX you want to build, write a Kbuild_moduleX with the targets. Example:
obj-$(MODULE) += MODULE.o
MODULE-y := source.o
Then, in your Makefile_moduleX, do:
all:
cp Kbuild_moduleX Kbuild
make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(shell pwd) modules
rm Kbuild
This works because the kernel scripts will give Kbuild priority over reading Makefile.
To compile, do make -f Makefile_moduleX
Is it pretty? No. Does it work? Yes.
