HI

  i Tried the mbuff example code, what i have written
  still its giving  error, when i am running makefile.
  here i am sending the entire code,
  could pls hel to sort out this porblem
the problem is as follows

i   am working in RT linux Shared memory,
  ie I tried communiction between  real time task and linux Process.
  while running Makefile , its giving error that
   " Undefined reference to  shm_allocate( )  in mbuff.h and its giving some
 line number"

    the same is the case with shm_deallocate().
    but actually, i  didn't  use anyware in my code, these functions.
instead i used the calls mbuff_* functions.
   what could be the reason.

    at the time of compiling my programme,  mbuff driver is already loaded.


 CODE  consists of four  files
   1. shmh.h header file
2. shmc.c which is a  file consists of common functions defined here
3.rtpc.c  this is a real time kernel module
4. appc.c applivcation module

code is as follows
