Module compilation error

[Narasimhamurthy Giridhar <giridhar@cs.clemson.edu>]

Hi all
	I was trying to write a module. I tried compiling it by doing

gcc -D__KERNEL__ -DMODULE -Wall -c file.c -o file.o

but i get the following error:

from /linux/module.h
included from file.c: /linux/autoconf.h does not exist

In the code I have :
 #include<linux/module.h>
 #include<linux/version.h>
#include<linux/kernel.h>

What might the problem be ?
