Hello Abdul,

lets move this discussion to the sr-dev list, as its a development related 
topic.

Do you placed your own module in the src/modules directory as well? If not, I 
would suggest to place it there. Its hard to find the issue just with the 
logs, there are also many errors here. 

My suggestion would be to go from your own module and try to compile a single 
file with gcc (for the actual command you can call "make quiet=0" and copy-
paste it). I would try to investigate one error a time, in the end they should 
be all mostly related.

There were also some changes in the Makefile logic, maybe you should compare 
your Makefile to one of the official modules.
