Really!!

This is my Makefile :-
obj-m += hello-1.o

all:
	make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(PWD) modules

clean:
	make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(PWD) clean


Now do one thing:-
# mv /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build0

now make it.

If you want point to your header files in /usr/include and then try to build.
