Hello!

I'm new on FreeBSD, i'm trying to create the "skeleton" driver and run it.

I just create the "skeleton.c" and the "Makefile". When i run "make" it appear:
Unable to locate the kernel source tree. Set SYSDIR to override.
Click to expand...
After google it, i found this thread: Thread 49779.
But i can't find the source of the 13.0 version, it doesn't seem to be here: https://svn0.eu.freebsd.org/base/releng/

How can I download the sources to compile a kernel module?

Thanks!
Best Regards.

Solution: (thanks to all!)

  1. Install git: pkg install git-lite
  2. checkout the 13.0 source: git clone -b releng/13.0 --depth 1 https://git.freebsd.org/src.git /usr/src

Thank you otis! Now "make" produces the output: skeleton.ko.

Now I want to load the skeleton example, so i tried to load it into the kernel by typing:
kldload -v ./skeleton.ko

But I receive:
Code: 
KLD skeleton.ko depends on kernel - not available or version mismatch 
linker_load_file: ./skeleton.ko - unsupported file type
kldload: an error occurred while loading module ./skeleton.ko. Please check dmesg(8) for more tedails.
dmesg have the message:
Code: 
KLD skeleton.ko: depends on kernel - not available or version mismatch
linker_load_file: ./skeleton.koo - unsupported file type

Is something changed in version 13? Should I move "skeleton.ko" in a specific path?

Thanks!
Best Regards.
 
You've built your kernel module with the wrong version of the source tree. I'm betting you checked out main which is 14.0-CURRENT, you need to checkout the releng/13.0 branch for 13.0-RELEASE.
