[Airo-linux-general] compile error 'this_object_must_be_defined_as_export_objs_in_the_Makefile'

[Kevin <lei...@ne...>]

Hello,

I just pulled the latest airo-linux module off cvs, copied airo* to 
 pcmcia-cs-3.1.33/wireless/

did a make config and then make all and I get the error listed above 
(full text at bottom). grep shows that the error it's complaining about 
is in:

/usr/src/linux/include/linux/module.h:#define __EXPORT_SYMBOL(sym,str)   
error this_object_must_be_defined_as_export_objs_in_the_Makefile

Previously I had no problem compiling the cicso airo* and the native 
pcmcia-cs airo* drivers.  I'm using Kernel 2.4.18-6  with latest  
pcmcia-cs-3.1.33.  In current kernel and .config pcmcia is disabled as 
is the kernel supplied airo driver.

Any suggestions appreciated I'm stuck on how to fix this error.

thanks!
