compilation problem of modules

[sounak chakraborty <sounakrin@yahoo.co.in>]

the code of the module that i written is as follows:
#define MODULE
#include <linux/module.h>
#include <linux/proc_fs.h>
#define MODULE_NAME "manti"
struct manti
{
      char mm[20];
 };
static struct proc_dir_entry *example_dir;
struct manti m1;
int init_module(void)
{
  example_dir=proc_mkdir(MODULE_NAME,NULL);
 if(example_dir==NULL)
  {
     printk("<1> error in creation of proc file\n");
    }
  else
   printk("<1>success in creation of proc dir\n");
  }
void cleanup_module(void)
{
   remove_proc_entry(MODULE_NAME,NULL);
  printk("<1>proc entry removed\n");
 }

here iam just making one directory in the proc file
named manti
i am trying to  compile it like
gcc -c proc.c 
where the kernel version is 2.4.20-8

but i am getting following errors
